[LM_NET] Target: Information linking reading ability with academic achievement

[Brenda Suttor <brendasuttor@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

Hi everyone, I am a former classroom teacher, now a graduate student working 
towards my masters degree in library/media. I really enjoy reading all of the 
messages. They are very helpful! 

I am doing my thesis on the importance of LMCs in alternative education in Michigan 
- a study similar to the other state studies showing the importance of libraries in 
education. Since these studies link libraries to better reading scores, I was 
wondering does anyone know of studies or articles stating that reading ability is 
linked to academic achievement. I know we all know this is true as a matter of 
common sense but what is the research? Any articles or websites that you know of 
would be very helpful.  I will post a Hit for everyone to read. Please e-mail me
