[ISLMA-Share] Lesson on Importance of Reading and Writing

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I actually have, but it was with 5th graders.  I found and shared an
article about the many benefits of reading, and we discussed it.  For a
high school audience, Neil Gaiman's article has a lot to say and is worth
reading and discussing.

"The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach
them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. And
that means, at its simplest, finding books that they enjoy, giving them
access to those books, and letting them read them." -- Gaiman, Neil. "Neil
Gaiman: Why Our Future Depends on Libraries, Reading and Daydreaming." The
Guardian. Guardian News and Media, 15 Oct. 2013.
