Title: Empowering Readers Through Meaningful Access and Choice
Presentation: Access to books and the ability to choose what you want to read are the two factors consistently linked to both reading achievement and the development of intrinsic reading motivation, but too many young readers live in book deserts without meaningful, consistent access to books or the encouragement and mentoring they need to choose what they read.
