Facilitating a book study for this book at the end of the month. Decent PD book about creating a reading culture in your school.

[Chris Hays · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great book from people who lead the school. Libraries and curriculum coordinators can get a lot out of this book. Has a lot of optimistic ideas for leading, reading and learning for excitement.
