Additional Information
“I received an advance copy of Leading a Culture of Reading by Lorraine Radice. The further I read, the more impressed I became with Dr. Radice’s methods for building lasting community around reading and books in ways she’s carried out in real schools. This is a well-organized reference for educators building a culture of joyful reading across a classroom, district, or entire school system. Plan to read this book slowly because there are a lot of great ideas to put into practice. Specific, practical, & effective!”
“A positive reading culture in a school doesn’t just happen. Savvy literacy leaders need to be intentional about creating it. The author does a phenomenal job of helping literacy leaders understand not only why it is important to promote a positive culture of reading but also how to do so strategically and comprehensively. The detail in this book is just incredible, even down to the wording used in emails and hashtags to create a reading culture social media campaign. I’m so looking forward to using this resource in the literacy leadership coaching I do with principals. I highly recommend this book for any school or district leader who is serious about improving literacy in their schools!”
