Listen in as: 
I share how you can lead a literacy revolution in your classroom that helps equip students to become thinking members of society. 
I talk about:
 -What book banning is. 
-Why world leaders ban books. 
-How to equip students to become thinking members of society despite what is going on in our world right now. 
Quotables: 
-Reading is a revolutionary act and because world leaders know this they have long attempted to  control the access to books and literacy as a form of control. 
-He who controls the books controls the people. 
-During your reading block the main purpose of your reading block is to teach students how to engage with and think about books so that they can transfer these skills to becoming thinking members of society.
