The National Book Foundation honors innovative individuals and organizations that foster and promotes the passion of reading for all walks of life. Every year the foundation seeks innovate ideas and awards up to $2,500 in various prizes. Here is one example of young adolescents across the nation making great strides by touching those who have limited access of reading books: Bicycle Powered Mobile Library--reaching out to those who are homeless in Portland, Oregon founded in June 2011. What a phenomenal inspiration: Great source to inspire students to proactively demonstrate their passion of reading--Love of Reading in Action! The link below provides more examples on innovate ways to spread reading across America and more.
"The one doing the thinking is the one doing the learning" is a phrase I impart to my students. I consistently remind my students that thinking empowers their capability and drive to succeed. "Knowledge is Power,"(Francis Bacon) with that power comes ownership, acceptance, responsibility, courage, perseverance, gratitude, respect, and assimilation of productive outcomes.
