A Project for your local
school... Literary Lunch!

|
|
[From the Greenland (NH) Central School] Read
the Article/See the Picture
|
|
|
Sign up kids (third through sixth grades work great)
to take their lunches out of the cafeteria and into an empty classroom and read
them a book! No pressure, no assignments, no requirements, just eat your lunch
while we read to you. Read during the whole lunch period, mark the page where
you finish, and take up where you left off the next day. Try to pick a book you
can read comfortably in a week.
