Forged by Reading The Power of a Literate Life

Bestselling authors Kylene Beers and Robert E. Probst expand the vision of what it means to be an independent reader in our schools and in our nation by challenging our concepts of literacy.

In an educational climate dictated by standards, tests, and mandates, Beers and Probst offer a needed vision of the interrelated nature of literacy and democracy, while they inspire us to do the hard work. Divided into three parts—Change, Power, and Hope—each section of the book helps us reenvision a world where all experience the power of a literate life.
