I'm studying in early childhood education and we've
learned that most kids stop learning to read around
8/9 and then they read to learn, so it's
understandable if 7 year olds have problems reading
them but love to be read out loud to them and
listening to the tapes, I'm working with school agers
this summer at the ymca and one of my activities I
think will be acting out HP adventures or reading them
and everyone gets a part to read.
