“ The uninitiated might say that I am lost in my books, but I know I am more found than lost. ”
The purpose of school should not be to prepare students for more school. We should be seeking to have fully engaged students now.
~ Donalyn Miller
Reading changes your life. Reading unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking travelers around the world and through time. Reading helps you escape the confines of school and pursue your own education. Through characters – the saints and the sinners, real or imagined – reading shows you how to be a better human being.
Books are love letters (or apologies) passed between us, adding a layer of conversation beyond our spoken words.
Every book begins and ends with other people- the readers who suggest the book to us and encourage us to read it, the talented author who crafted each word, the fascinating individuals we meet inside the pages- and the readers we discuss and share the book with when we finish.
