4,100 Massachusetts Students Prove Small Isn’t Always Better Then Susan Szachowicz and a handful of fellow teachers decided to take action. They persuaded administrators to let them organize a schoolwide campaign that involved reading and writing lessons into every class in all subjects, including gym. Their efforts paid off quickly. In 2001 testing, more students passed the state tests after failing the year before than at any other school in Massachusetts. The gains continued. This year and last, Brockton outperformed 90 percent of Massachusetts high schools. ABC Life Literacy Canada Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well. Check out these 15-minute activites to get started!
True to Life Books by Jan Latta Jan Latta is the author, wildlife photographer, designer and publisher of True to Life books on endangered animals. With 15 books to her name, she has a wealth of knowledge to share with students. Jan's photographs and stories are genuine because she follows wild animals in their natural habits – in Africa, India, Borneo, Uganda and China. She waits patiently for weeks, sometimes years to capture the magic photograph that tells the animal's story. She is "the voice" of the animal through her photographs and stories. K – Y2 45 minutes Y3 – Y6 60 minutes How To Set Wildly Important Goals, And What They'll Do For You Focusing on one wildly important goal is like punching one finger through a sheet of paper--all your strength goes into making that hole. By avoiding focus traps like refusing to say no and trying to make everything a goal, you can narrow your focus to one or two wildly important goals and consistently invest the team’s time and energy into them. In other words, if you want high-focus, high-performance team members, they must have something wildly important to focus on.

In a book trailer video students highlight their favorite elements of a story and try to entice viewers to read the book themselves. Much like a movie trailer that tries to get viewers to watch the full movie, a book trailer should give viewers just enough to be interested in the full story without giving away the conclusion to the story. If you have heard of book trailers and wanted to try having your create book trailers, here are the four things they'll need to get started after reading a book. A script/ outline: Before I let students start to assemble a video, I make them write a script or outline for the video. Writing a script or outline forces students to think about the points that they want to emphasize in their videos without thinking about the technical aspects of the video creation process.
