Adam Steiner (@steineredtech) recommends the blog post of social studies teacher Jay Barry, who
notes the trend that «many boys stop
reading for pleasure in
middle school and those that are
reading often choose books that do not challenge them as readers.»
Note: For an additional $ 940,000 over three years, MCSD added 24 more
schools in July 2016 to the Achieve3000
reading program: Allen, Blanchard, Brewer, Dimon, Dorothy Height, Gentian, Hannan, Johnson, Key, Midland, North Columbus, Reese Road, River Road, St. Marys Road, Waddell, Wesley Heights and Wynnton elementary
schools and Arnold, East Columbus, Fort, Midland, Richards, Rothschild and Veterans Memorial
