Best Youg Adult Novels

NPR has released their list of the best young adult novels. My favorite series, Harry Potter, tops the list. Some other favorites are The Book Thief, Speak and Tuck Everlasting. Having taught special education for the past four years, I realize it is often hard to get students with learning disabilities interested in reading. However, it is not hard for you, the teacher, to read aloud. Yes, you have time to squeeze in ten minutes of reading a day. I don't know where, but you are smart. You are a teacher. You want to give your kids the best education. Find the time. It's important!
