“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right…. Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.“
— Kofi Annan, 7th Secretary General of the United Nations

“Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of their deep and continuing needs, is good for them.”– Maya Angelou, & Richard McKenna

“Reading is the Key to every other discipline, the key to life. If you cannot read confidently by 3rd grade, the odds of getting a good job, having a successful marriage, of going to jail, (then), all of these things change dramatically for the worse, IF YOU ARE NOT READING! Reading is a fundamental skill, it is necessary and essential.“-William (Bill) Bennet, 3rd United States Secretary of Education
