Leading the Way to Literacy NEWSLETTER AN AFFILIATE OF THE INTERNATIONAL READING ASSOCIATION VOLUME XXXI, NO. 2 WINTER 2011 President’s Message I hope you are taking advantage of these cooler nights and curling up with a warm book to read. FRA’s Children’s Book Award has some suggestions for you to use with your class or your family. The Sunshine State books are very entertaining. I have read quite a few under the guise of encouraging students in my class to read them. ☺ The quality is great and they are fun! Our website http://flreads. org. has a list of books written with our sunshine state as their setting. The project is the Florida Teen Book Map Project for Adolescent Literature. You can even go there and add a few new ones to share with others. Now that we are in 2011, I encourage you to sit and delve into a few of our FRA journal articles. Our editors carefully select these articles with you, the FRA readership in mind. Share your articles and your ideas with other te
