Chapter One - Robbie Hardy

I believe the key to sustain life-long readers is to allow them to make their own choices in regards to what they want to read. As a student myself, I was turned off to reading by the outdated material that we were required to read. With my own children, I allow them to choose their own books they want to read before bed and I see the interest and excitement that comes with it. Reading should start at the home and be supported by the school and form a partnership that will challenge and continue to promote reading.
