Beverly Cleary explains how she made up the term D.E.A.R. time in one of her books, (Drop Everything And Read), which is now a common practice in many elementary classrooms, including mine. It's a time of the day when everyone reads something they like for the sheer practice and enjoyment of reading without any assignments to follow!
