Kids who READ FOR PLEASURE do better in every way than kids who don't. So whatever else you do, never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop giving them ways to understand the world, and everyone in it. #literacy

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin influences it but everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.

Set an example and read in front of children.
