I think kids who like to measure things would enjoy toting up their reading time, and families who reward reading time might like it too. Of course, gimmick-lovers like me might want one too!

And I love the Country Musicians Rock and Read event. It's great seeing people from so many different areas talking about literacy every week.

I've already made a few new friends in the world of reading (and that's what the Literacy Ambassador is all about). The community of people promoting reading with families and children has an even more important voice these days as our wonderful teachers are focusing in teaching the skills of reading. I have a library science professor friend who calls our focus "the behavior and habit" of reading. I like that and we certainly do need both the skill base and the motivational part. Keep up the good work! Thanks for the mention of the new post and the wonderful resources you are sharing.
