I will ignore the fact that you capitalized the word "libraries" and "librarian", therefore outing your obvious capitalist letterist agenda.
Having said that, libraries should really have more literacy and reading comprehension programs. I know one little rebel who got swindled from his "College Level Reading Comprehension 101" class. I sincerely hope he held on to his receipt for dear life. There's a solid case for a refund I think.
I may have mentioned this little rebel mayhaps kept a thesaurus way past it's due date. I was mostly joking, I completely forgot that his current reading abilities is more pamphlet sized.
I guess what I'm saying is, do you know of any local libraries that can take him in for a reading remedial review? He is a precious (or is that precocious, I can never remember which is which) little rebel, but can act cranky when he misses his nap time and juice. I know, don't we all right.
He already knows how to write with a pen and pencil, struggling with script, but he switches to his favourite crayon when he gets overly excited.
I know we are all in this together, because it takes a village to raise a child, (or a potato) and thank you for your attention on the matter.
Bonjour, Bonsoir, Bourgeois.
