Literacy has an amazing impact on people. I believe that working to increase students' levels of literacy is the most valuable learning I can assist with. While reading is not the only aspect of literacy, I also believe that people love to read have an easier time improving all of the other aspects of literacy.
With this in mind, a few colleagues and I have made it our mission to help students learn to love reading. This means removing restrictions that force students to read books that hold no interest for them personally and providing opportunities for students to see the impact that a good book can have on a person's life. The former we are doing in our classrooms, but the latter we can't do alone.
That is why we are asking for help from you. Whoever you are, we want to hear your story. How has a book impacted your life. You can write, you can tweet, you can make a video. Whatever fits your story and style. Just rememeber to tell us the title and author of the book and what kind of impact this book had on your life.
Here's some examples:
