Read Across America 2009

I like doing this every year — reading to elementary school kids — but don’t let the school staff fool you: sixth graders are significantly tougher than younger kids. Younger kids don’t sigh and dangle their arms as you read (just a few in a class of about 30, but enough), and act as though you’re literally boring them to death.

I’ll get another chance, though: In addition to reading at Topaz Elementary School today, I’ll be reading at Hollyvale Elementary School on Monday and then, Monday afternoon, will be talking about newspapers at an assembly at Mission Crest Elementary School. (They’re using Read Across America as a kick-off to a month of reading.) Yes, I’ll be that guy at the school assembly.
