999

The speaker opened her re- marks by stating that “Every- one in the civilized area of the world, child, adolescent, or adult has a need for being an effective reader. Reading is the ‘primary avenue to all know- ledge. It offers access to the information, ideas, aspirations and hap) s of both the past ‘and the futire. Through reading

one extends ‘his environment ‘from home and community to the
