ALA Toolkit on the School Librarian's Role in Reading

This is a great resource from the American Library Association

Excerpt from the School Librarian's Role in Reading Position Statement

"Reading is a foundational skill for 21st-century learners. Guiding learners to become engaged and effective users of ideas and information and to appreciate literature requires that they develop as strategic readers who can comprehend, analyze, and evaluate text in both print and digital formats. Learners must also have opportunities to read for enjoyment as well as for information. School librarians are in a critical and unique position to partner with other educators to elevate the reading development of our nation’s youth."
