Here’s my own personal READATHON for Monday, September 5th, 2022, LABOR DAY

WANT TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN? JOIN ME TOMORROW, LABOR DAY, FOR A MINI-READATHON. Here are the guidelines:

  1. Start any time of day you wish. I will be getting an early start at 7:00 a.m.

  2. You can take breaks any time and as frequently as you wish; try to limit them to 30 min.

  3. Have plenty of books on hand; if you are short, since the libraries may be closed, feel free to pay me a visit and go through my many boxes of books.

  4. Have snacks and meals to warm up. Be Prepared like a Girl Scout, and take care of this today, Sunday.

  5. Change your place where you read from time to time. Either stretch, walk, or exercise in some way so you won’t become “stove up.”…

This year (2019) finds me with 50 plus years of teaching "under my belt." I have taught all levels from pre-K "(library lady" or "book lady"--volunteer) to juniors, seniors, and graduate students enrolled in my Advanced Writing class at the university where I have just completed 30 years. My first paying teaching job was junior high, and I spent 13 years with ages 12-13, the "difficult years." I had some of the "funnest" experiences with this age group. When I was no longer the "young, fun teacher," I taught in an elementary school setting before sixth graders went on to junior high, teaching language arts blocs, an assignment that was a "dream-fit" for me. After completing graduate school in my 40s, I went on to community college, then university teaching. Just as teaching is "in my blood," so is a passion for reading, writing, libraries, and everything bookish. This blog will be open to anyone who loves books, promotes literacy and wants to "come out and play."
