Marysue Ryan asked this question about Childhood’s End:
I read Childhoods end when I was a young adult and loved it . I am planning on reading it again. I am wondering if you all think that it would qualify as a good read aloud book? I am a dorm parent for grades 7,8 and 9 at a boarding school. now that the weather is getting cozier I am going to start reading for 20-30 min before lights out. Any thoughts? suggestions?
Rick Kastelein hmm, hope i am still in time to give you some advice. I really liked the book, but i think it may be a bit on the boring side for a read aloud book. N…morehmm, hope i am still in time to give you some advice. I really liked the book, but i think it may be a bit on the boring side for a read aloud book. Not that much suspense in it or anything. and there are some long slow marts in the book about how ideal civilisations might look like, which i think grades 7/8 wont really like that much.
I could recomand HG wells war of the worlds. A great book to read out loud for that group :D(less)
