Colleagues,

The article, "Books Open up Worlds," from the Calgary Herald on  
family literacy in Canada intrigues me. I was intrigued to learn that  
family literacy got a huge boost in Canada from a made-for-TV movie.  
I like the airplane oxygen mask analogy used by ABC Canada president,  
Margaret Eaton. (I'll use that when talking with legislators in the  
U.S.!)  I especially like the succinct description by Calgary Reads  
executive director, Dariel Bateman,  of how one of the three most  
important ways that  parents can help their children with reading  
readiness is by how they talk with them.
