Quotefilter: I know, I know, two in a row, but there is a fantastic quote about fostering a love of reading that I am looking for now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The quote went something like this: "If a child expresses even the slightest interest in a book, we should move mountains and cross oceans to get a book in that child's hands". I have no idea who said it, but I seem to think it was a famous author or educator.
I'm taking a literacy class in my education major right now and this quote would be PERFECT for several things!
Hope Me Metafilter!
