Pam Allyn on stretching kids’ ‘reading muscles’ in the Common Core era
By Megan on March 18th, 2013
Pam Allyn, Global Ambassador for Scholastic’s Read Every Day. Lead a Better Life. Global Literacy Campaign, shares two important messages on reading and the Common Core State Standards.
Pam emphasizes reading volume and how we can challenge children to stretch their “reading muscles” every day.
Pam stresses the importance of exposing children to a wide range of genres, from nonficiton to literary texts, and helping them to build links between the two.
How do you encourage your children or students to explore multiple genres? How do you make sure they’re reading often and deeply? Share your strategies and ideas here!

Are you the same Pam who lives in Hastings and does such wonderful work to help families there? I live in Irvington, would love to meet you and perhaps contribute to your cause(s) in one place or/and another!
