“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”

Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass taught that literacy is the path from slavery to freedom. There are many kinds of slavery and many kinds of freedom, but reading is still the path.”

Carl Sagan

As you come across beautiful sentences or paragraphs, those that move you or inspire you, mark them, memorize them.

Corporate Landing Middle School has instituted the sustained silent reading program D.E.A.R. - Drop Everything and Read. To provide students with opportunity to read online and/or find texts that bolster their interest in reading, Read, My D.E.A.R. is a digital site providing links to a variety of reading opportunities.

“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” ― Mark Twain
