Spark the reading habit

Tue., May 10, 2016

In response to “Good Reads” (April 30), I believe this list of books is good for kids 12 and under as they try to get into reading. I read all or most of these books in that period of time, and now I love reading and have all honor courses in almost all of which I have A’s.

Reading is very important at a young age and even through everyone’s entire life, and this list has the potential of making anyone a book lover.
