Hi All! I just want to make sure that you received your invitation to the blog and can respond. So, this is a test of sorts.
Your blog posts will be due by the start of the next class. Meaning, if I post a prompt today...you must respond to it by 11:45 on Wednesday. Sound like a plan? Cool.
Here is your very first prompt to respond to:
I started reading when I was four years old and have been reading ever since. My favorite childhood book is hard to choose - it's a close tie between Little Women and Little House on the Prairie. Each one of these books had an impact on my life and definitely inspired me to become a reader.
What was your favorite childhood book?
This post does not need to be very long, because it is mostly a test. However, respond to at least one of your classmates' posts. You may begin by simply posting a reply to this post.
sorry for the room mix up today. Someone may have moved my sign. I look forward to getting started with you on Wednesday.
Best,
Kelly

Deletenever read but I bet its interesting
DeleteKyle, that is my daughter Maisy's favorite book. She adores Roald Dahl. He scares me a bit, but she says that Dahl is the only writer out there who writes "sweet and scary fantastical things." ;)
ReplyDeleteI really loved all books when I was growing up but I would say that my all time favorite was the Harry Potter series. I just could not put them down.
ReplyDeleteRachelle,
DeleteI loved those books as well! I think they might be my favorite CL series, definitely cross written.
You and me both I finished them very quickly sadly I was reading them even before the movie came out to be honest they also helped my fledging reading ability since I would re-read them often when I was younger so yeah they where pretty good reads overall.
DeleteHarry Potter is also my favorite series of books. i liked them so much that i read most of them twice.
DeleteMy favorite childhood book was Heckedy Peg. It was kind of scary, but i liked it because my grandma read it to me so it meant a lot.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Seuss book is The Starbelly Sneetches. :)
ReplyDeleteKimber, I remember reading that book! I had forgotten about it. Thank you for reminding me. :)
ReplyDeleteWell honestly I didn't have much experience with books until the 3rd grade I had terrible ADHD and I had more then one teacher believe that I should have been held back due to my very low grades with the introduction of my medication however I began to have higher grades and for once could focus enough to read beginning with Katy And The Big Snow by Virginia Lee Burton as I small child I would practice with this very basic book. I advanced very quickly and in 3rd grade during the winter I chose to stay inside and read trying to get better guess what after advancing quickly I am now in college but I still have the book to this day.
ReplyDeleteI think that's awesome. I should get this book for my son James. He isn't a big fan of reading - he has struggled with it for many years. Maybe this will be the book that perks his interest. :)

ReplyDeleteMcKenna! HA! hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in the second grade I started collecting the Little House on the Prairie books with the help of my dad. It was fun collecting them and eventually finishing the entire series. The books became a thing for my dad and I because my other siblings were not into reading like we were.
ReplyDeleteJennifer! Which one if your favorite? Oh man. I think I have to say that THese Happy Golden Years is mine. :)
DeleteIt's hard to choose just one but, On the Banks of Plum Creek is really good.
Deletewould have love to read some of those books enjoyed the series
DeleteDr. Suess had some crazy words in There's a Wocket in my Pocket, thats my favorite Suess book
ReplyDeleteI would have to say Dr. Suess was the books of my child life that i liked reading
ReplyDeleteDr. Seuss was awsom. his books were some of the first ones that i ever read.
DeleteI loved Dr. Suess books as a young child, "The Lorax" and "The Cat in the Hat" were probably my two favorites though.
DeleteI remember we had a bunch of Dr. Suess books when I was a kid. Loved them all.
DeleteDr. Suess books are definitely the ideal children's books simply because there are so many made up words that the way the child pronounces the words really has no relevance other than the fact that it gets the child reading.
DeleteI read a lot as a child but my favorite would have to be between Alabama Moon and Do You Know the Monkey Man. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a Wocket in My Pocket is my favorite Dr. Seuss book, hands down.
ReplyDeletei read a lot when i was younger. my favorite series of books was definitely the Harry Potter series, but i also really liked the book the Star Spangled Banner by Neil Swanson.
ReplyDeleteLol it's not big friendly d lol it's big friendly giant! I would honestly say it is probably the best book I have ever read :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book as a child was the The Little Red Hen. A very simple book but it has a good lesson to it.
ReplyDeleteThe Berenstain Bears series of children's books were some of my all time favorite books as a small child. I still have some of them including "The Bear Scouts" and "Bears in the Night." I read them and many others to my numerous honorary nieces and nephews.
ReplyDeleteThose were some really good books! I enjoyed them too!
DeleteI remember reading "The Bear Scouts" in school! Really good book
DeleteMy favorite childhood book was probably Curious George. I remember reading it in school a bunch of times.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite childhood book was the White Fox Chronicles.
ReplyDeleteI have never read There's a Wocket in My Pocket but I do remember reading Green Eggs and Ham and having one day a year in school where all we did was celebrate Dr. Suess. I also would say I loved the story of the Starbelly Sneetches the best also.
ReplyDeleteThe first books that I remember reading and really enjoying was the series of Hank the Cowdog. I loved the humor in those books.
ReplyDeletemy favorite book was the berenstein bears the spooky ole tree. I think I enjoyed it so much mostly cause my parents loved reading it starting with my oldest brother to my middle brother and then finally me.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great book one of the good ones from back in the days when we were growing up
DeleteMy favorite child hood book would have to be friday night lights. i picked this since it was the real story about odessa football
