Reading

Making reading choices can be challenging but fun. The words that we read and the images those words create can stay with us forever. So, selecting books that are going to help us become better people in some way should be important when we are thinking about the time we will spend on a book. Here are some relevant quotes about reading. For extra credit in English class, write out each quote in purple and find who said it. Turn it in by Friday, August 26, at 7:43 a.m.
