Inspire Reading

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of

building enough bookshelves.

~Anna Quindlen, "Enough

Bookshelves," New York Times, 7 August 1991

Literacy Tip

"It's not the toys in the house that make the difference in children's lives; it's the words in their heads. The least expensive thing we can give a child outside of a hug turns out to be the most valuable: words." From Chapter One: Why read aloud? The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease

“A book burrows into your life in a very profound way because the experience of reading is not passive.”

~ Erica Jong, O Magazine, 2003
