Producer: Cut the light off! Cameraman: I’m trying dude!

It was like they were breaking the forth wall.

6th graders should still be read to believe it or not! Somewhere around third or fourth grade kids should read with their parents (every other page or chapter). Parents are able to hear their child’s fluency and clear up any confusing or dated references. Having a middle front seat may be bizarre to someone who sat in a car seat until 8, but was perfectly normal up until the early 90s.

A coworker said one of her fondest memories was reading the Harry Potter series with her daughter who did not like books. Her daughter fell in love with the series. They’d read together. By the time Half Blood Prince and Deadly Hallows were released her daughter was in college, but they talked about every chapter over the phone. Reading with your child also grants beautiful bonding moments.

You would be surprised how many people don’t read to their kids. I had around 150 kids last year and about 5 said their parents read to them when younger on a survey. This was 6th grade.

Forced marriage or fake dating. They always fall in love. Is line a book where they end up going their separate ways.

I noticed a lot of books were “Booktok” books. I didn’t see that much diversity either.

In high school I bought a book and it’s sequel. Finished book 1 the same day I purchased and got halfway through 2. Never read as much as I did as a kid.

People are staring because of the camera. It’s like on 600# when people are grocery shopping and say people are looking at them. No, it’s not everyday you see a camera crew. Everyone’s trying to figure out what’s going on.
