The Seeds of Literacy

David L. Harrison

\

Thanks to my own great fortune when I was a child, it was an easy decision to start volunteering in various literacy efforts nearly 40 years ago. I have helped raise money for library books, helped introduce young readers to books written by hundreds of authors nation-wide, challenged students to read enough books to reach the sky, helped create free CD libraries of books recorded by well-known people (including their parents), helped bring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to Springfield to give free books to kids, served on school boards and university advisory councils, written articles and books about literacy, given speeches, and visited hundreds of schools and libraries. I feel blessed to have had so many opportunities.

 

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for reading to me when I was little. It made all the difference.
