What we need to understand is that books weren’t written so that young people could write essays about them, but so that they could read them if they really wanted to. Adesso vi starete chiedendo 'ma che c**** sta dicendo? questo qui non dovrebbe essere un commento a Come un romanzo di Pennac?' Yvonne Cano-Flatt argues in favour of a hybrid working pattern, as long as “the role is not a customer facing role and the team is still engaged in team meetings and continued professional development.” Lensmire, T. (1994) When Children Write: Critical Re-visions of the Writing Workshop New York: Teachers’ College Press

All these have applied to me, at some point in my life, and most of them still do, on a daily basis! Another reason to avoid the drugstores: some over-the-counter reading glasses jump up or down in power by increments of 0.50 diopters. That’s a little too imprecise for comfort. For the best reading experience, we recommend looking at readers with powers that vary by increments of 0.25 diopters. Reading Glasses Test Chart: Estimate the Best Power for Your Eyes Escrito desde el punto de vista del pedagogo —Daniel Pennac es profesor de instituto— pero prescindiendo de datos y tecnicismos, evitando dar consejos o “reglas de oro”, sin jerga profesional ni pedantería, sin colocarse en ningún momento por encima del lector, Como una novela es, más que un libro, una conversación entusiasta y desenfadada con un amigo que tiene las ideas algo más claras que nosotros. I recently posted about my new determination “ not to finish a book,” and I fully support #3. I love to re-read, so I was happy to see #4. My younger daughter is a big supporter of #9.

Suzanne Brimm, for example, shares: “Last time that I spoke to a person who was working from home regarding my finances, the person stopped dealing with me to sort the children out. This is not professional behaviour in my opinion and my time is money. These words of caution from the author at the very beginning of the book set the tone of one of my most favourite books. Daniel Pennac is a bestselling French author of both children’s and adult fiction. This short autobiographical non-fiction title was originally published in 1992 in France and has sold over a million copies there. This Walker Books edition is the book’s second translation, this time by the amazing Sarah Adams (now known as Sarah Ardizzone). In The Rights of the Reader, Pennac draws from his experiences as a child, as a parent and as a teacher in inner-city Paris to create an ode to reading for pleasure. This is the first right. It is fundamental. Reading for pleasure should be fun, it should bring you comfort and escape and joy. Only you know if reading is what you need right now. You do not have to read a damn thing you don’t want to. So there! The right to skip
