前一轮的选书投票,呼声最高、票数最高的The Giver,现在家长反应孩子不喜欢看!
——完全是意料之中!
家长和孩子的意愿是有差距的!
The Giver是本好书,但肯定不会是孩子们自己主动喜欢的书。
但是为什么书不好看,却被评为金奖?
如何去理解和去看这本书,这就是上阅读课的意义所在啊!

下面这本书 The Genie Scheme,是我女儿推荐的。
在前面列的那些书单里,我问女儿,从这些书里挑一本,你会挑哪本?
她说:The Genie Scheme。
在前一轮选书投票中,这本书的票数并不高。
但这本书,Vicky老师上得非常感人!
这本书的时间我自己定了,因Vicky老师那边的时间有点问题,可能这本书只能讲一节课了。
也就是本周五晚上这一次课,八月十七号晚上20:30-21:30
合适的就来吧!
书介绍:
阅读年龄: 8岁以上
书长度: 192 页
难度,根据Lexile Level,这本书是730L,而Ramona the Pest 是850L, Mr. Popper's Penguins则是910L。也就是说,这本书比雷梦拉和波普先生的企鹅还好读!
好看,而且易读!
这个结果,真是跌眼镜了!
The Genie SchemeWhen Janna impulsively buys a winter hat for a bag lady, she expects nothing in return. But Janna's kindness pays off in a big way when the bag lady turns out to be a genie! Now Janna is the genie's master and she couldn't be happier, especially when she learns that the "three wishes" rule is strictly for fairy tales!
Before long, Janna's room is overflowing with clothes and gadgets -- but things aren't quite as simple as they seem. Making wishes comes with its own set of rules, and Janna discovers that "unlimited" has some...well, limits. Genies can't make something out of nothing, so everything that Janna wishes for is taken from somebody else. Oops. And then there's the problem of genie wattage -- there's only so much of it, and Janna is using it up faster than she'd like. What's a greedy girl to do?
书评:
Review Excerpts“Both a fun chapter book and a lesson in the importance of kindness, The Genie Scheme is a good book for middle graders to read on their own or for teachers to share with their classes.”
--Michael Jung, Suite 101.com. Read the full review here
“...the sparks of humor; the well-drawn, sympathetic characters…make the story something more than just a fictional vehicle for an ideal” --Booklist “What Janna chooses to do with her wishes will keep readers engaged until the tale’s satisfying conclusion.” --Kirkus Reviews FlamingNet gives The Genie Scheme a 10! Read the full review here “an adorable dose of magic, incorporating some life lessons, a seemingly ordinary girl, and a slightly ditzy genie into a nice little package..... a hilarious novel that has flair, definitely appealing...”
-- Amanda Snow, A Patchwork of Books blog Read the full review here "Told in an enchanting and non-preachy way, THE GENIE SCHEME will make everyone feel good by the last page. And maybe, it will have a magic of its own...making everyone that reads it want to do a random act of kindness themselves."
--Jennifer Wardrip, TeensReadToo.Com Read the full review here
