The Post

All Books Count is by writer, blogger, and educator Jen Vincent, who lets her kids pick out any books they want at bedtime, even SpongeBob Squarepants, as long as they let her pick a book to read aloud, too. She is a Technology Integration specialist in a small, diverse, K-8 district in a northern suburb of Chicago.  She tweets at @mentortexts and blogs at http://www.teachmentortexts.com.

“All Books Count” appeared on the Nerdy Bookclub on April 21, 2014.
