Re: Laura Bush,First Lady of Literacy

[Chuck Finnigan <cfinnigan@SWSD.K12.WA.US>]

I liked this quote from that article:

"Look, I'm fairly sure [Laura Bush] is going to be doing things connected to
literacy, making books available, teaching kids how to read -- literature is
one thing, but reading is another, and those of us currently paying our rent
as writers would probably be better off anyway if there were more focus on
literacy rather than on celebrating professional authors."
