- Do you remember when you first learned to read? How old were you? Who taught you? Describe your earliest reading memory.
- What was your favorite book, or who was your favorite author, as a child? Did you ever return to one book again and again? Do you still enjoy this book/author today as a 7th grader?
- What is the definition of a good book for you?
- Describe the book you are currently reading. Include the title and author and tell us about it without giving away any spoilers. Who would you recommend this book to? (Let's share some titles and get reading!)
