[LM_NET] TAR: Articles about the power of the teacher

[Dawn VanLerberghe <dlvl_02@HOTMAIL.COM>]

For March is Reading Month, I am as usual offering a reading contest for the 
students.  I decided to offer a similar contest to the teachers because I want them 
to read.  I want them to discover new books so they can talk about them with 
students.  To go along with this, I am trying to find articles about the power of 
the teacher relating to reading amongst students.  I want articles that discuss 
students success and all that fun stuff.  The first article I handed out was from 
Jim Trelease's website. 

http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/whatsnu_morrie.html

Can any of you recommend articles as such?  I would love to have the link or even a 
fax of the original article.  I will take articles that apply to all of K-12, but 
the elementary (K-6) is where the contest is.  I just started this in the 
elementary where March is Reading Month has been going on.  Then in a few years I 
can work this in to high school also.I will post a hit if there is interest.

All I can say is that I am trying!

Thanks in advance,
