Dr. Deanna Mayers, CPDLF principal, facilitated a “CPDLF Reads” challenge for learners over the summer months. She encouraged learners to spend time reading everyday and 4th grader Edward Gorba did just that! He read 71 books this summer! Edward said that he loves to read because reading helps the imagination grow.
Dr. Mayers said, “ It is important for learners to know that getting access to books is easier than they might think. They could find books at the CPDLF online library, their public library, or a thrift store. Learners can also re-read an old favorite or listen to a book while in the car. Reading is an activity that can be done from anywhere and promotes lifelong reading habits.”
