SHARE YOUR STRATEGIES AND IDEAS FOR PROMOTING READING

As was described in the News column, the Spring/Summer Issue of ESD will be published in June. Reading will be a major theme of the issue. In the new AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner, the importance of reading as a "foundational skill for learning, personal growth, and enjoyment" (AASL, 2007) is one of the common beliefs upon which the standards are based. If you are willing, please use this publication to share with your colleagues your professional expertise and experiences related to students and reading. We have created a link to collect your ideas.
