Developing that passion for reading is crucial, according to Jim Trelease, author of the best-seller, The Read-Aloud Handbook.. Every time we read to a child, we're sending a 'pleasure' message to the child's brain, he writes in the Handbook.. You could even call it a commercial, conditioning the child to associate books and print with pleasure.. This reading commercial is critical when competition for a child's attention is so fierce.
Massachusetts has an unique unposted limit law. If a limit is not posted outside of a thickly settled area, you are not speeding unless you exceed 50 (divided highway) or 40 (undivided) for a quarter mile. In a thickly settled area other than a school zone, exceeding 30 for an eighth of a mile is speeding.
Most speed limits are set by state or local statute, although each state allows various sub div isions to set a different, generally lower, limit. The highest speed limits are generally 75â80 mph (120â130 km/h) in western states and 70 mph (115 km/h) in eastern states.A few states, mainly in the Northeast Megalopolis, have 65 mph (105 km/h) limits, and Hawaii has a maximum limit of 60 mph (95 km/h).Portions of the Idaho, Montana, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming road networks have 80 mph (130 km/h) limits.ost speed limits are set by state or local statute, although each state allows various sub div isions to set a different, generally lower, limit.
