Alberta Youth Theatre Collective reviews Victoria School's The Lightning Thief
Based on the book of the same title, one of the best-selling young adult books of all time, The Lightning Thief first premiered Off-Broadway in 2014. After years of revision, the Greek mythology-inspired musical finally opened on Broadway in 2019 for a limited run. Following the titular Percy Jackson, the musical begins with Percy's discovery that his father is a Greek God, and continues as he discovers the world of 'Half-Bloods'— that is, children with one Godly parent, and one mortal parent– and finds connection and understanding in this new world.

Why it's important to read aloud to your kids – even after they can read themselves
Reading together can encourage closeness between children and parents, as well as shared knowledge and laughs. PHOTO: ST FILE Why it's important to read aloud to your kids – even after they can read themselves Reading aloud to your children is a parental superpower – you can continue to build where the school learning stops. Is reading to your kids a bedtime ritual in your home? For many of us, it will be a visceral memory of our own childhoods. Or of the time raising now grown-up children. Perhaps it involves a nightly progression through the Percy Jackson series or the next Captain Underpants book. Or maybe there's a request to have Room On The Broom again (and again). But for some households, reading aloud is not a regular activity. A recent British report by publisher Harper Collins found many parents are not reading to their kids. Fewer than half (41 per cent) of zero to four-year-olds are read to frequently. More than 20 per cent of parents surveyed agreed reading is 'more a subject to learn than a fun thing to do'. The report also found that some parents stop reading to their children once they can read by themselves. As The Guardian reported, some parents assume 'it will make (their child) lazy and less likely to read independently'. Here's why it's important to read to your children – even after they have learnt to read. What's involved in reading skills? Research on reading skills suggests there are two main types of skills involved in learning to read. Constrained skills are skills that once we learn, we keep. For example, once we learn the alphabet, we don't have to keep learning it. It's like riding a bike. Unconstrained skills are skills we continue to learn throughout life. For example, vocabulary, reading fluency (how quickly and smoothly you read) and reading comprehension. Even as adults, we continue to learn new word and language forms. We know reading to infants and younger children can build early language skills, such as the sounds of words and the alphabet. Reading to older children is a simple way to build unconstrained skills. How reading aloud helps The books we read aloud at bedtime to young readers tend to be those they can't read themselves. So it introduces more complex ideas, words, and sentence patterns. This is why reading aloud to your children is a parental superpower – you can continue to build where the school learning stops. Reading together can also encourage closeness between children and parents, as well as shared knowledge and laughs. When you are reading to your child, they have your full attention, which also makes the time special. What should you be reading? Reading aloud doesn't necessarily have to involve multiple chapters of a book. Research suggests what matters is that it's something you are both interested in and enjoying. You could read to your child on a device, or you could even tell a traditional tale without a book. You could read poetry, news articles or magazine articles about a favourite football team or player – these can all build unconstrained literacy skills. Even re-reading a beloved picture book from younger years can build fluency and focus on direct speech in text (especially when the reader does 'funny' voices). How often should you read to your child? Family life is busy and parents often have many commitments. So there are no rules, other than to make it fun. Don't be put off by 'how much you have to do' – a few minutes of engaged reading time together is better than none at all. You could read to your child when you yourself are reading something and want to share it. If it's too hard to read to your child every night, do it every weekend night or make another time during the week. Or ask a grandparent or older sibling to help. And there is no set age to stop – if you like, keep reading to your kids until they leave home! Robyn Cox is professor of literacy education at the University of Tasmania, in Australia.

Did Selena Gomez Reveal That Logan Lerman Joined the Only Murders in the Building Cast?
Getty Images There's a chance that Selena Gomez just unwittingly (or maybe purposefully) revealed that Logan Lerman has joined the cast of the Emmy-winning series, Only Murders in the Building. Gomez, who was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Mabel on the Hulu show, shared a carousel of photos on Instagram on Saturday, April 5, potentially revealing new cast members on the show. The photo dump was a mixture of personal photos of Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco, along with some behind-the-scenes pics from what appears to be the fifth season of Only Murders in the Building. She captioned it, 'a few memories… 🩷' In one picture in particular, Gomez stands on set with her two main co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, along with series newcomers Christoph Waltz and Renée Zellweger — who were announced last month to be part of the show, along with Keegan-Michael Key and Téa Leoni. But standing next to Zellweger is Percy Jackson star Logan Lerman. The surprising addition has not yet become public, leaving fans to believe that Gomez's innocent social media post might be the big reveal. Was she just casually posting without realizing it? Perhaps. The reason we know she's on set is because of another photo in the same post of Gomez with Martin and Short, sitting in their actors' chairs, reading their lines. The beloved true crime comedy has grown in popularity since its debut in 2021. Since then, the series has welcomed a host of A-list talent — including Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Cara Delevingne, Tina Fey, Jane Lynch, and more. It's unclear who Logan Lerman is playing on the show, which follows Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin as they solve murders that occur within their New York City apartment building. Maybe a new suspect? Time will tell. Originally Appeared on Teen Vogue Want more great Culture stories from Teen Vogue? Check these out: Underneath Chappell Roan's Hannah Montana Wig?
