My suggestion… Harry Potter

Yes, we are now going to be having remote/virtual learning to at least May 1, 2020, so this is a great time between Google Classroom, Tik Toks, and Fortnite to read for the first time, or rediscovery a new book series. My absolute favorite is Harry Potter. As some of you know I am not a strong reader, so I have taken advantage of the great audiobook versions.

If you haven’t read the first book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, you are in for a real treat. I can remember retired Crystal River High School JROTC Senior Naval Instructor, Captain Thomas Holme, U.S. Navy (Ret.) saying the first time he began reading HP, “I have to read this book and find out why all these kids are willing to read a book that is two inch thick book”.  Holmes himself quickly became a HP fan.

I was so pleased to read in the Insider that HP author J.K. Rowling has made the ‘Harry Potter’ series more accessible to help students and teachers.  At www.jkrowling.com you can even download a full set of HP Guidelines for Teachers by clicking here.

Happy reading! (NO cheating and watching the movie, you can do that after you read the book- and yes the books are better than the movies)
