Those Who Read Succeed! Easier Said Than Done!

Cultivating & Integrating Literacy Across the Curriculum by Howard Slepkov

Episode notes

I used to have a poster hanging in my classroom that said THOSE WHO READ, SUCCEED! I used that challenge to my students for the second half of my career, all the way into teaching young people how to teach and what it meant to encourage literacy in the classroom. But there are things we have to do to set the individual student on the path to a love of learning and the WE begins with not just the school environment but the home environment as well. Each of us must do our parts to take our students on an individual journey into the world of books and help them find themselves in the page of what they read often enough that they become hooked for life.
