Drop Everything, It's D.E.A.R. Time!

Drop Everything, It's D.E.A.R. Time! | Ann McGovern

A little graphic I made for my board at work that I thought I'd share here. Few things rustle my librarian jimmies more than adults (parents, teachers, caregivers, other librarians) who try to dictate children's reading choices.

ALL BOOKS are valid choices. Comic books, Picture books. Classics. Contemporary. LET. THE. CHILDREN. READ. Feel free to give recommendations, but don't force it!

My school started a mandatory 20 minutes of independent, silent reading today. This will be for the entire month of April. Teachers are to read silently, too. I don‘t think I need to tell you how exciting this is for me. 📚 😉

janeycanuck I was also super jealous of Ramona Quimby‘s DEAR time when I was a child. I wonder if I can convince my company to do this 🧐 5y

Purrfectpages @janeycanuck that would be amazing! 5y

Day 12 #dropeverythingandread #aprilbookshowers I'd probably bore you all if I posted yet another photo of Connie Willis's books, so here's another photo of Mikey-Cat. I'd love to drop everything and read with him purring in my lap. He likes to sleep on me for some reason, even when I'm sleeping.
