Raising a Reader

You Can’t Judge a Book By Its Cover

One of the biggest goals in our library is to instill a love for books and reading with EVERY student at JRE.   I remind them that no matter what their passions or goals are being a strong reader is going to help them get there.  I came across this video and it reminded me of so many students who think they have to chose between being an athlete or being a reader; that it’s not cool to read if you excel in sports.  Malcolm Mitchell proves that you can be both.
