@everybodywins on #FollowFriday! **Update** I originally posted this on June 26th but I wanted to revisit it today (August 21st) as the Everybody Wins online auction is currently going on and I wanted to give them a plug! To check it go here, and bit on some of their items!**
I think their logo pretty much says it all =), but their website says even more! "One mentor, one child, one book at a time" How simple! But we all know how profound an impact one person, one book can have. In fact, why don't you take a quick moment to think about that one person or book that instilled a love of reading in you.
I'll wait.
Got it? Now just imagine you never got that. Everybody Wins works to make sure that every child gets a chance to enjoy books and build a lifetime of reading.
To find out more, please stop by their website, say hello to them on Twitter, and help spread the word that with literacy - Everybody Wins!
So who was it? Tell us who it was that instilled the joy of reading in you? What was the book whose cover was worn with love?
For me, the person that had a huge literacy impact in my life was my Senior British Literature teacher. I'd always had a love of reading, but she opened me up to a whole different level of books and helped me see them in a deeper way.
