Welcome to the Reading Room!





Greetings!
I'm Ms. D, and I welcome you to Scholastic READ and RISE.

READ and RISE is both a blog and online literary magazine dedicated to nurturing the love of reading in our children.




Here, and on the pages of our online magazine (www.readandrisemag.net), you will find insightful book reviews, fascinating Q&A's with authors and illustrators, and useful real-world tips for promoting a love of books and reading with your children.

Better than just telling you that you SHOULD READ with and to your children, we give you free access to great stories TO READ with and to your children. So stop by often!

You never know who's going to join us in discussion about reading, culture, and empowerment through the written word. Coming soon, we talk with Derrick Barnes, the creator and author of the popular Ruby and the Booker Boys series.

In the meantime, visit www.readandrisemag.net to check out our great online magazine. Find richly illustrated and culturally connected stories and fun interactive activities for our children.

Happy reading!

Ms. D
