Education Advisory Committee Statements of Support for Book Adventure
"The International Reading Association is honored to be a partner with Sylvan Learning Foundation in Book Adventure. The Association believes that reading is the instrument that leads to success in learning and in life. Developing a lifetime reading habit is an important focus of our work with educators, parents and others concerned with children's reading development. Consequently, we have goals in common with Book Adventure."
--Joan M. Irwin
Director of Publication International Reading Association "Book Adventure combines all the elements of a successful program: making learning fun, involving the parent and the child and creating a sense of belonging and accomplishment. The National Center for Family Literacy is proud to endorse this new Web-based program for the whole family."
--Sharon Darling
President of National Center for Family Literacy "The District of Columbia Public Library system strives to provide the best learning tools for children, youth and families equitably. Too often, however, cost barriers preclude easy access to available resources. Book Adventure is an important initiative that supports families and educators in literacy-building activities by bringing to life a self-paced, engaging, reading motivation program at no cost to the user either at home or in libraries. Further, Book Adventure demonstrates that literacy is achieved only through a concerted, collaborative effort. It is a pleasure for the District of Columbia Public Library to support this exciting venture."
--Maria Salvadore
Coordinator of Children's Service DC Public Library System "The National Association of Elementary School Principals believes that all children and youth should emerge from school with a positive self-image and a high quality education. We are pleased to support Book Adventure based on our common commitment to ensuring America's children become effective and enthusiastic readers. We encourage educators to utilize Book Adventure resources to inspire children to become accomplished readers which is of paramount importance for their success in school and life."
--Gail Gross
Associate Executive Director for Marketing and Strategic Alliances National Association of Elementary School Principals "The National Catholic Educational Association challenges its more than 155, 000 educators to champion superior standards of academic excellence.

--Dr. Robert E. Kealey
