At the middle school level, we have a reading specialist who can give that extra dose of instruction in reading that some students need.

Reading really does go down in middle and high school. The amount of reading kids do in those grades just goes down. There are so many clubs and sports competing for that attention.

We're getting more and more [high school teachers] asking about that all the time.

The entire district is really focused on literacy.

I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.

I was always going to the bookcase for another sip of the divine specific.
