"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go."
Dr. Seuss might not have been thinking about the 21st Century when he made this statement about reading, but as teachers we know that we need to continuously prepare our students at St. Dominic for all the "places" they will go after graduation. Literacy has been defined as someone who can read with a pencil in his hand, explain what he read, and finally, write about it. In an effort to continue work on literacy, the English Language Arts Department, along with the Librarian has designed a school-wide Summer Reading Program.
