Share a Story-Shape a Future: Selecting Reading Material Day
"I can’t imagine my life without books- the many overflowing bookcases in my house and classroom are a testament to this. When I began teaching I discovered the lack of middle school teachers who blog and set out to make a difference. I read and review all the books I place in my classroom library and hope that my reviews can help other students, parents, teachers, and librarians choose the perfect book."

Wow! There's so much wonderful information on your post! Thanks, I'm going to dive in now :)
I volunteer with my local Literacy Volunteers. We'll tutor anyone over 18. It is amazing to me how many people make it through our educational system without knowing how to read.
Developing literacy at a young age is crucial! Keep up the good work.

Meg-Literacy Volunteers is a great organization. We've shared children's books with them as a way to engage adults in reading with kids.
Rachel-We love that link. We put it in our resource kit!
