"When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young." -Maya Angelou I teach middle school English/Language Arts in a rural, high-need community in North Carolina. The school I teach at is located in the heart of the Achievement Gap - a term that describes students from low-income communities who consistently have been performing significantly lower on standardized state tests than their neighbors in wealthier communities. An essential tool in overcoming this "gap" is developing their basic reading skills and pushing them to grow more than the standard one academic year in each grade. Only through continuous practice and motivation will these students have the opportunities for success that they deserve.
