Reading Is Our Business attempts to cultivate literacy and to encourage library media specialists to resume/assume (depending on who you are talking to) their rightful position as critical partners in the development of reading comprehension.Sharon Grimes in the PrefaceMotivating children to read is essential to building a lifelong love of reading. Many parents cannot model engagement with books and instead, teachers, school media specialists, and children's librarians must step into the breach to help children embrace a love of reading.According to awardwinning librarianeducator and author Sharon Grimes, to help students love books and reading, their skills must go beyond merely recognizing words and turning pages without comprehension. She frames the situation with an insightful overview of current research on reading and how children learn.Reading Is Our Business then outlines a unique sevenstep reading strategy. Each step is illustrated by actual classroom examples teaching students how to understand what they read and is supplemented with ageappropriate author and book lists. Strategies to enhance reading comprehension include: Connecting Visualizing Questioning Finding Answers Determining Importance Inferring and Predicting SynthesizingSample worksheets and websites make the process easy to use and replicate, and help break down reading comprehension into its component parts for learners for whom this doesn't come naturally.As young people engage with books, they develop connections with their own lives and lay the foundations for logical thinking and more learning. Following these practical guidelines, librarians can continue to foster this community of readers and thinkers.
