  19. “If students are not read to, if day after day the only reading they hear is the drone of fellow members in the “turtle” reading group, they are certain to finish the year sounding like a “turtle.” We need to balance the scales and let children know that there is more to reading than worksheets…The child who is unaware of the riches of literature certainly can have no desire for them.
