A twelve-year old sets the Washington Post straight.
February 26th, 2007
Fishbowl DC had an interesting post today in which it called to our attention a letter from a 12 year old who says that she does too read the newspaper.
Not only can she read – but she can write also.
Well, I gotta tell ya. I teach an after school class at a middle school. This semester we are using the “Newspapers in Education” curriculum because I also worried that young adults are not reading the newspaper.
Oh how wrong was I.
I have been pleasantly surprised at how much that age group is reading the newspaper… Of course much of it is determined by what they observe at home.
When asked why such-and-such was their favorite section, often the response was because a parent liked that section…
