There’s often much discussion — amongst parents and teachers, writers and librarians, readers and bloggers –about how to engage kids in literacy.

Much discussion and some head scratching and occasionally a frustrated thump on the noggin.

It’s one of those things that seems like it should be easier than it is.
I mean, we’re talking about stories here, right???
Everyone loves a good story!

But we’re up against really compelling new media.
And educational inequality.
And fear.

We’re dealing with time constraints and financial limitations.
Fill-in-the-dot tests.

We are talking about stories here, but the noise in the room is overwhelming…

Shhhh!
Enter our friends at Share a Story – Shape a Future!!
They’ve created a week-long blog event during which we can think about literacy to our heart’s content.
Nothing’s getting in the way.

Here’s the entire schedule.
Now carry on because there’s already a lot out there, and it’s good.
