[LM_NET] K-12 Classrooms without time for Read Aloud or Silent Reading

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Dear Colleagues,

As you know, I've been working on a new speech about the importance 
of reading (literature) and story in an age of high stakes testing. I 
have had some great correspondence with teachers and librarians who 
have been able to keep story alive in their schools.  But I also know 
that there are many teachers and librarians who are so strangled by 
testing and its demands that they are losing the time they would like 
to give to reading aloud, to sharing literature and stories.  If you 
can share some of those truths with me, please drop me a line.  I 
would love to hear from you.

Best,
Toni
