Leading the Way to Literacy NEWSLETTER AN AFFILIATE OF THE INTERNATIONAL READING ASSOCIATION VOLUME XXXI, NO. 2 WINTER 2011 President’s Message I hope you are taking advantage of these cooler nights and curling up with a warm book to read. FRA’s Children’s Book Award has some suggestions for you to use with your class or your family. The Sunshine State books are very entertaining. I have read quite a few under the guise of encouraging students in my class to read them. ☺ The quality is great and they are fun!

Our editors carefully select these articles with you, the FRA readership in mind. Share your articles and your ideas with other te
