Last weekend in Spokane, I talked to a group of teachers and parents and librarians and kids.
During the Q and A, a 14-year old girl stood up and said, “I just want you to know that my fourth grade teacher read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane out loud to the class, and it changed my life. I was never a reader, and then I became a reader. And now I’m a writer, too.”
Yes.
Yes.
Reading aloud makes readers.
Reading aloud makes writers.
Reading aloud changes lives.
