Read a book, read a magazine, read a newspaper: these are the kinds of reading we expect, but there are many other kinds of reading: reading a movie, reading a website, reading a room, reading a website, reading a face, reading a gesture.

Here is the truth: we read the world. When we read, we are actively engaged in creating meaning in the world.

Read! You are doing it right now whether you know it or not.

 Reading is a critical part of building your knowledge and skills throughout the year. It is also fun. Don't forget to visit the library. Set a goal: aim to read one book a month !
