Be a good reading role model. Show kids what you like to read, what you don't like to read, how you choose what you read. Let them see you reading.

For a lot of kids, reading is not magical. It's really hard work.

Jon Scieszka Author

I'm just trying to get kids motivated to be readers by connecting them with a book they like.

Jon Scieszka Author

We're promoting such a narrow version of literacy that we're not including what a lot of boys like.

Jon Scieszka Author

I believe that all blogs should have at least one set of rhyming words. Just because. Does. Fuzz. Was.

Reading and writing, arithmetic and grammar do not constitute education, any more than a knife, fork and spoon constitute a dinner.

John Lubbock Banker

You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.

Dorothy Parker Poet

For at least twenty minutes she handed out the story. The youngest kids were soothed by her voice, and everyone else saw visions of the whistler running from the scene. Liesel did not. The book thief saw only the mechanics of the words--their bodies stranded on the paper, beaten down for her to walk on. Somewhere, too, in the gaps between a period and the next capital letter, there was also Max. She remembered reading to him when he was sick. It he in the basement? she wondered. Or is he stealing a glimpse of the sky again?

Markus Zusak Writer

Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.

Socrates Philosopher

One of the things is that the good intentions of Prohibition, from reading over the years and from becoming obsessed with the research of gangs in New York City, seems to have allowed crime figures at the time, like Luciano, Capone, Torrio and Rothstein, to organize to become more powerful, which pulled all the way through until the '70s.

Martin Scorsese Film Director

I was looking at books and reading the indexes and finding a next book and reading that book, and then from that index ... It was a version of surfing the internet before the internet. I was surfing the New York Public Library. It was back when you had to fill out a form and put it in a chute.
