Share a Story-Shapea Future 2010: All the Posts
Just as we did for Share a Story 2009, we have created a complete, one-stop index of all of the posts. In fact, we now have a new page on the blog JUST for the indexed information.
For Share a Story-Shape a Future 2010 we selected the theme It Takes a Village to Raise a Reader because learning to read is an immersive process ... everyone in a child's life plays a role, either formally or informally.
One of our goals with this year's event is to share ideas about all of the ways we can create readers and, by extension, celebrate the efforts that each of us dedicate to the children in our lives.
