Lead a better life - Read!

Reading and writing are so intertwined at times those who partake of either or both don't pause to give a lot of thought to those who don't. 

Sometimes it is almost inconceivable that people don't read, don't read well or don't even know how to read. But it's out there.  Scholastic offers a page called Read Every Day-Lead a Better Life. It's the Global Literacy Campaign and it's an eye-opener.

So go for it. Read. Encourage kids to read. Writers, don't just bury your heads and write - encourage everyone to read. 

Grab a book, a kindle, a tablet, whatever and read!
