Joy in Reading: A Middle School Literacy Enrichment Program

The girl and boy glance earnestly about as the votes are cast. One by one, the members present their decision to their leader.

The Privacy Problem

Adams on April 1, 2011 Although school librarians seldom discuss it, students’ privacy rights are under attack Illustration by Ken Orvidas Imagine the look of horror on one New York school librarian’s face when she returned to her middle school library to find a list of overdue books with the names of kids who had borrowed them plastered on her door. She immediately thought of all the students who’d taken out titles on sensitive topics, like puberty.

Another school librarian in Wisconsin said her principal insisted on a list of every book a certain student had checked out since his first day of school—no explanation offered. And then there was the Georgia elementary school librarian who had to constantly fend off teachers who wanted to scrutinize their students’ circulation records. Every day in school libraries nationwide, students’ privacy rights are under attack, but many principals, teachers, parents, and community members don’t know much about these rights. Scales, Pat R.

Reading 2.0?

Sometimes we need some quick help recommending titles. A number of my students, most notably my Book Club kids, belong to book networking sites like GoodReads, LibraryThing, and Shelfari. But not everyone really wants to join and build a reading network based on tagging and rating and reviewing. I’ve been gathering and pointing to some speedier book recommendation tools that don’t require a membership commitment beyond a basic registration, a variety of sites that lead readers to quick book hook-ups based on recent reads, favorite authors, genres and other traits. BookSeer presents readers with a simple form asking what you just finished reading. Scholastic’s Teacher Book Wizard is designed to help teachers create and customize book lists.

With the emphasis on test-taking and the competition with multimedia, today’s youth are reading less.

“Many elementary school reading programs require children to do a certain amount of reading every night. These programs disappear in middle school. As the curriculum becomes more demanding and students’ extra-curricular activities increase, students may no longer read for pleasure. By eighth grade there is a 50 percent drop in reading for pleasure. If a student has not found his favorite genre, chances are he will no longer read for pleasure” (Gander 20). “Readicide” – “the systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practice found in schools” (Gallagher 2). 2.2 Reading promotion - The Enchanted Librarian. 2.2 Reading promotion - The Enchanted Librarian.
