Welcome to the WDYRLN Blog

Do you love reading? Cullman City Schools is using our WDYRLN reading program to build a true joy of reading in our students through art, music, discussion, and reading, reading, reading! We have just ended our first year of this program and can't wait to see what the new year holds. Schools too often focus on teaching reading but lose sight of the need to create lifelong readers who read because they love it. This program wants to give them opportunities to not just learn to read but also to share the things they read that they love. Join us in our quest for happy, excited readers and share your ideas with us.

Seeking New Focus for 2007-2008

Our WDYRLN reading program celebrated Alabama authors last year. Recently the idea of focusing on local Cullman authors, such as Dr. Sylvia Morris, was tossed out. I know Dr. Morris and she is a character. That makes her a fun suggestion as a speaker, but in addition to that she loves history, young people and poetry. I believe she and others would be interested in being part of our program. Does anyone else have ideas on where we need to go in the new school year? It's "kudzu" time. Let the ideas flow.

I love the idea of tapping into our local talent pool this coming school year. Dr. Sylvia Morris will be an entertaining and enlightening speaker.

Dr. Sylvia Morris is a wonderful person and author. I happen to attend the same church she does.

This creative reading emphasis, WDYRLN, has been refreshing and fun for our students. Appreciation is extended to all who contributed to this worthwhile effort for our students.
