It’s Celebrate Literacy Week in Florida! This celebration is designed to raise awareness about the importance of reading and to inspire Florida’s students and families to make reading part of their daily routines.

Students who read independently have greater reading comprehension, verbal fluency and general knowledge than those who do not. They become better readers, score higher on achievement tests in all subject areas, and have greater content knowledge than their non-reading peers. With that, today’s question is what is your favorite book of all time?
