How to promote better readers

There’s nothing like an eye-catching poster to send a clear message.
Here’s one I saw in the office of Ed Hallisey, the principal at Putnam Valley Middle School.
“Reading is key to lifelong learning,” said Hallisey Tuesday afternoon as I admired the colorful poster with simple message on his wall. He said he saw it more than 10 years ago and picked up copies for his co-workers. He put plastic over his copy to preserve it and it has moved with him from the elementary school to the middle school. He has been in the Putnam Valley district for more than 20 years. (He couldn’t recall where he got it and there was no credit line on the poster.)
Teachers, parents and librarians are always searching for ways to encourage children and teenagers to read more often. This is a good way and I bet there are others.
