Literacy

Tuesday, January 25, 2010

Again, another delayed post. So sorry! These past weeks have been a bit

crammed. Sorry if the posts tonight are brief, I've got a math quiz tomorrow.

Wish me luck! A quick note about today's picture - it was on the wall of a

bookstore...I find it very true. :)

Quote Of The Day:

"Literacy is not a luxury, it is a right and responsibility. If our

world is to meet the challenges of the twenty first century we

must harness the energy and creativity of all our citizens."

~ President Clinton

50 Word Story:

Deciphering Freedom

A young boy sits on the floor, his face scrunched up in a mask of intense

concentration as he stares down at the words in the picture book in his lap.

Slowly, he sounds them out, piecing together the meaning of the story. Slowly

but surely, at last he reads.
