Thoughts on Reading...
“Reading changes your life. Reading unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking travelers around the world and through time. Reading helps you escape the confines of school and pursue your own education. Through characters – the saints and the sinners, real or imagined – reading shows you how to be a better human being.” ―

The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child“I try to teach my students that books are a mirror, reflecting their own lives, and a window, giving them a peek into someone else's.” ―
Donalyn Miller“Deeper comprehension is more likely to occur when we
discuss our reading with others.” Kelly Gallagher
“A critical reader in the classroom makes for a discerning
reader outside of the classroom.” Kelly Gallagher
