Life-Long Reading

D. Don Schulte, a social studies teacher at Pattonsville High School in Maryland Heights, Missouri

To help encourage life-long reading, I post a copy of the local newspaper on the hallway wall outside my room. Students stop by during the day to check out the comics, sports page and news headlines. The students in the Missouri Stock Market Game Competition often check the business section. My goal is to get the kids hooked on reading the newspaper on a daily basis.
