Poetry—A Path to Literacy
Look for a special edition of The Missouri Reader coming up early
next year! We thank David Harrison for being the impetus and supporter of the idea for this issue. He and a few of his friends who are major figures in the field of literacy have contributed articles that will help your students find a path to literacy in a fun, exciting way. He has mentored us as on our path to this next issue and we appreciate his ongoing support for The Missouri Reader. THANK YOU, DAVID HARRISON!
