I work in an school where our students are face to face everyday with poverty. We live in an area where third generation poverty is rampant and continuously growing. Many of our students come from low income homes and as a result they are not exposed to much literature at a young age. By providing the my students with a wide variety of books at school, their home away from home, they get the opportunity to enjoy the blessings from reading.
Donalyn Miller stated in her book The Book Whisper, 鈥淚 know from personal experience that readers lead richer lives, more lives, than those who don鈥檛 read.鈥
