GRAND Magazine - December 2009 - 14
grand central Read to succeed Too many of today’s teens will be at a disadvantage in tomorrow’s job market because of their poor reading habits. That’s the conclusion of a report by the National Endowment of the Arts and as reported by Bob Thompson of The Washington Post . “We are doing a better job of teaching kids to read in elementary school,” says NEA chairman Dana Gioia in the Post report. “But once they enter adolescence, they fall victim to a general culture which does not encourage or reinforce reading. Because these people then read less, they read less well. Because they read less well, they do more poorly in school, in the job market and in civic life.” “What will these kids do when they grow up? And what can grandparents do to stop America from becoming a nation of burger flippers talking about nothing on their cell phones?” asks Jonathan Micocci, president of GRAND Media. Let’s get creative! GRAND readers, how can we make a difference in the reading lives of our grandchildren? And on a grander scale, what can we do as a society to motivate and prepare literate generations ahead? Send your ideas to me at grand@grandmagazine.com and we’ll feature as many as we can in a future issue. —Christine Crosby, publisher, GRAND Magazine Jack 14 GRAND DECEMBER Taylor Dylan & Caitlin Sophia Maiu
