Last year, one of the kids told me about his crush in class. In his words, "Ssh! It's a secret. Don't tell anyone."
Haha, look at me eating back my words.
"Why do you like her?" I asked.
"She's very intelligent, smart and pretty."
"Hmm, interesting." I teased.

"She asks and answers questions. She's very smart. She's brainy."
Because I know kid struggles academically and was figuring how to use this info to serve as a form of motivation, I said: "Why don't you tell her you want her to be your library friend?"
"What does that mean?"

"What does that mean?"
"You go to the library together, read together, talk about what you've read and exchange books."
Two months later, the kid's vocabulary, reading, and critical thinking skills are topnotch.
These days he goes "We're reading XYZ book this week."
