How do we get kids to read? Dr. Lorraine Radice is a literacy leader at a school district on Long Island. She has been working to build a culture of reading at all levels in the school district. Her recent book, Leading a Culture of Reading: How to Ignite and Sustain a Love of Literacy in Your School Community, addresses specific ways that school districts and teachers can work to get kids reading.

In our conversation, we discuss the framework that Lorraine established to do this work, the ideas that she has implemented with teachers to introduce new book titles that students may enjoy reading, as well as her work with getting kids involved in being reading leaders.

Lorraine is passionate about getting kids excited, interested, and engaged in reading. This conversation and her book will give district leaders, teachers, and parents ideas to try out with kids at any grade level.
