Reading Inspiration

As I prepare lesson for the literature units for my middle school classes, I remember how much I love to read! It feels like a luxury, even if it's just a few minutes on the bus. How do you fit reading for pleasure into your daily routine? Reading is a great way to expand your vocabulary and your mind.

Here are some of my favorite reading quotes!
