At a time when books are being viewed as controversial and libraries are threatened with being shut down, reading is more important than ever.
On National Read a Book Day, Kasey Meehan of PEN America’s Freedom to Read initiative continues to be alarmed at the number of books being taken off of America’s school library shelves.
"What does it mean when you can't see yourself in literature? What does it mean when you can't read a book about somebody who has a different lived experience than yourself? I mean, there's a real gap in how individuals will be able to kind of navigate and engage and explore, different either identities or experiences or histories," said Meehan. Judy Newman is the chief impact officer at children’s books publisher Scholastic.
Book choice is one of the most important factors in getting children to read. According to Scholastic’s data, 93% of children say their favorite books are the ones they pick out themselves, and 92% say the books they’re most likely to finish are the ones they choose.
