Writing @ Reading: Questions for Day 5

Can you believe it's Friday already? This has been such an incredible week and today, well ... it's the icing on the cake!

Although we love chatting about literacy within the blogosphere, our hope is that you are inspired to move beyond our virtual community and go out into the world and share your love of literacy. Today's hosts Elizabeth Dulemba and Sarah Mulhern underscore the point that literacy is a gift to be shared.

Today's writing prompts also
  • If you could write a letter to a friend, beloved book character, author, parent, teacher, what would you say about how/why they're influenced your reading life?
  • If you could pack three "flashlight worthy" books in a suitcase to keep for children born in 2025, what would they be? and why?
  • How did you first fall in love with reading?
    Here's how Writing @ Reading works ...

    1. Select the question(s) that resonates with you.
    2. Find an old post or write a new one that answers the question. [Be sure to grab a Share a Story button from the sidebar to include in your new post!]
    3. Come back here and link your post either via the inLinkz box or as a comment.
    4. (optional) Tweet about your post and include @ShareaStory or the #SAS2011hashtag.

    Since this is the last day of the tour - and you might be inspired this weekend - we'll leave this one open until Monday, 14 March 2011.

    What a great site - my twelve year old niece just had her children's book published and it's been a great journey. We need to do everything we can to encourage literacy!
