This book presents a curricular framework for students grades 6–12 that school librarians and teachers can use collaboratively to enhance reading skill development, promote literature appreciation, and motivate young people to incorporate reading into their lives, beyond the required schoolwork. Supporting Reading Grades 6–12: A Guideaddresses head-on the disturbing trend of declining leisure reading among students and demonstrates how school librarians can contribute to the development of lifelong reading habits as well as improve students' motivation and test scores. The book provides a comprehensive framework for achieving this: the READS curriculum, which stands for Read as a personal activity; Explore characteristics, history, and awards of creative works; Analyze structure and aesthetic features of creative works; Develop a literary-based product; and Score reading progress. Each of these five components is explained thoroughly, describing how school librarians can encourage students to read as individuals, in groups, and as school communities; support classroom teachers' instruction; and connect students to today's constantly evolving technologies. Used in combination with an inquiry/information-skills model, the READS curriculum enables school librarians to deliver a dynamic, balanced library program that addresses AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner.

He was considered a world traveler, quick on his feet, and an expert at finance and education. Yet the Greek god Hermes started out his life with trust issues—he lied to his father Zeus and stole his brother’s cattle. But Greek myth writers did not allow him to continue with his bad reputation. He became respected as the reliable messenger of the gods, delivering news outside of Olympus. Among his duties in Greek mythology, Hermes served as a spy, mediator, and adviser. Read how Hermes overcame a rough beginning to become one of the most popular Greek gods in culture and literature.
