Read, read, read
In the grammar school, and even through the middle years, reading should occupy a hefty portion of every school day in three forms: students reading aloud, students reading silently, and teachers reading aloud from substantial works that exceed their students’ reading levels by at least two grade levels — sharpening their listening skills, kindling their imaginations, and instilling a deeper love for stories. These exercises are especially important in today’s visual-media-obsessed culture.
