"Literacy is one of the most important skills a student can learn in school. It is the foundation for learning all other subjects and attaining life skills. Learning to read and write effectively is fundamental in becoming a critical thinker.
Students who read strengthen their brain function and cognitive ability, as well as enrich their communication skills. Empowering our students to build their reading skills is absolutely a passion of mine, especially because it was my biggest struggle and the place where I felt most inferior.
I have a saying in our library that “Books are Treasure.” Not only are books an escape for some readers, entertainment for others, and for some strictly informational, but at the very core, books help us to see with the lens of another person. They teach us empathy, in a world that really needs empathy right now. I could go on and on about the importance and power of being a reader."
