Lehua's Comment on Sei's Ch.1 blog

Sei...

First of all, thanks again for "holding me up" literally at our hike today! Second, I just wanted to comment on your blog on chapter 1. I totally agree with the points that you made. As for the part about Harry Potter, I think that it is great that the child "can't put down the book" because reading something is way better than reading nothing. On the other hand, just like you said, we need to encourage them to put down the book or that genre of books, and have them read outside of their comfort zone. In my blog, I mentioned that the students need to be encouraged to read outside of their comfort zone because when they get older and need to expand their horizon, so to speak, and need to read the newspaper or Time magazine, they will be ready and eager to do so.
