I loved this article on the benefits of reading. Look at us go! Good luck with your massive rewrite. I know you can do it. Your book trailers are so beautiful! Happy belated birthday.
I remember in HS, vocabulary was part of the curriculum because of the SATs. For honors and AP English classes--the kids who all had at least one reading book stashed in our bags at all times--it was generally a waste of about fifteen minutes of class time per week. ;-)
When I was in junior high school, I had a plastic note card box (definitely pre-internet). I remember being home from school because I was sick. I was reading some Jules Verne novel and every time I came across a word I didn't know, I'd look it up in my trusty dictionary and make a note card with its pronunciation and meaning. I was a weird kid.

Thank you for all the kind words and the birthday wishes.
