I’m sure I’m not the only one who has at least ten one-liners stored in her memory bank from the movie The Princess Bride: “My Sweet Wesley”; “This is true love – you think this happens every day?”; “You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles”; “I am not left-handed”; “You killed my father…prepare to die…”; “Mawage.

As we continue our 60 Days of Summer Fun with a focus on Reading, we present Part IV: Great Reads for Boys, with special attention to reluctant readers. The trick with boys- as is often the case with girls, is to let their interest guide their reading. If they love Star Wars, then give them graphic novels about Star Wars. If they…

Oftentimes the content of those ‘above level’ books-…

Sometimes interests turn into obsessions… trains, stuffed animals, cats. For my little one, kitty cats were — and are her world. When she was a preschooler, she collected them, “talked” them, dressed as them, read about them, knew who their cousins were at the zoo, and could identify the numerous breeds. Over the years, I’ve encouraged her fondness of felines by getting…
