“Reading is important to success in school. If you can read, you can read every subject. No matter what you want to be when you grow up–a doctor, a lawyer, a Senator, an artist, or a teacher–reading will help you reach your goal.” -Mrs. Laura Bush

 

Continuing to read for fun year-round is critical, especially for independent and intermediate readers. Reading not only allows students to expand their imagination, but it significantly prepares them to succeed in the classroom.
