Robin Adelson, Outgoing Executive Director
of the CBC and Every Child a Reader,
Talks to Teen Reads
Take a moment and read the insightful interview with esteemed Executive Director Robin Adelson of the Children's Book Council and Every Child a Reader on TeenReads.com here.
Here is an excerpt:
Every Child a Reader is a charitable organization focusing on
literacy. Its mission is to instill a lifelong love of reading in
children. It’s not enough to learn how to read. For a child to truly
reach their potential as a student and ultimately as a productive member
of society, you need to look beyond just learning the basics
of reading. And to get beyond the basics, you have to have an
appreciation for reading. With all of the things competing for your
leisure time, if reading is one of those choices that you'll consider as
you grow up, it expands your horizons in ways that ultimately expand
your potential.
We try to instill a lifelong love of reading by promoting the joy of
reading, so it’s not just associated with school and chores and
homework, but is recognized as something entertaining, cultural and
artistic.
