Campus Advisory Board members at Miami University celebrated National Literacy Awareness Week (NLAW) by distributing books at Marshall Elementary School in Oxford, Ohio.  They distributed 3 books to each child, including “Giggle, Giggle, Quack” by Doreen Cronin, that they also used as the inspiration in a puppet show.  Their favorite quote from the day’s activities:  “Yay, books!”   

First Book- Miami University also distributed pledge forms at the student center, to encourage the campus to read to a child.  The pledge highlighted the reasons why reading aloud to a child is important including, stimulating the imagination, fostering creativity, creating special memories, building knowlege, boosting self-esteem and developing a love of books and reading.  

These all sound like great reasons to me!  Keep up the great work, Miami!
