As Raiareads enters it's second year in the classrooms of our partner schools, I keep getting asked why encouraging enthusiastic young readers is so important to me. The infographic below does a great job of explaining how middle school and high school students are reading less and less for pleasure (to read the full study by Common Sense click here). My goal with the Raiareads program continues to be to try and reverse these trends...one school, one classroom and one book at a time.
