This document discusses strategies for creating and sustaining readers. It begins by noting the problem that an overemphasis on standardized tests could undermine reading for enjoyment. It then outlines the T-A-R-G-E-T framework for engaging readers, which stands for Trust, Access, Response, Guidance, Enthusiasm, and Tween/Teen Appeal. Key strategies proposed include giving students choice in books, access to class and school libraries, opportunities to connect with authors, and activities that promote enthusiasm like reading aloud and listening to audiobooks.

In some ways, sameness is great - we have same hobbies, we go to the same school, etc. But in what ways does sameness get us into trouble? How does sameness lead to stereotypes, bullying, and other things we don't want to see in the world? Learn how appreciating differences and becoming allies to one another can make a difference.
This is the powerpoint that supported the - Communicating to Influence - training organized by the Directory of Social Change at the Charity Fair 2010 (http://www.charityfair.org.uk/) ------------ The training starts with looking at the ethics behind influence, persuasion and manipulation: where is the line? Then we look at the great onion: behaviour versus values. You then explore the different communication styles and finish on the habit some people have to hint.
