 A Superpower Reading Gives Us  

From the Editor
 


Consistent quality reading enables great writing, sharpening our writer's tools and sensibilities. We will readily pull interesting words, phrases, and sentence structures from our mental shelf. Great input, great output. Little input, little output. Let's keep our kids reading this summer!

"I inhaled books like people breathe oxygen. The vocabulary in South Korea was so much richer than the one I had known, and when you have more words to describe the world, you increase your ability to think complex thoughts." North Korean defector Yeonmi Park, In Order to Live.
