book I’m reading maximum ride
would you recommend it to other readers? Who and why?
Yes it is a fast paced book but still has a good text
hi i just read a book called surviving hitler and loved it
Thanks for that Rebecca. A lot of students have been asking about books about children during WW2 so this will be a useful one to tell them about.
im at the moment reading the robert muchamore series and would recomened them to people who do not read very often and to people who do.
I’ll share your opinion with other students – especially those who aren’t that keen on reading. It sounds like these books will appeal to everyone.
Am currently reading “Handbook of research on educational communications and technology, (Spector, 2014)”. Quite a long tome and incredibly rich and dense.
Not possible if I had not persevered in my reading. Especially in my first year of studying education. I read books by this guy Vygotsky, a Russian who was a genius. Problem was I couldn’t understand a word of it. I read pages, chapters even and I just couldn’t understand what the hell it was about. The more I read the angrier I got and the more stubborn, that I WAS going to get this. After weeks of reading aloud to my girlfriend and both of us confused beyond words, it finally clicked. I finally started to get the gist, and the more I read the more I understood.
