Read
a Daily Herald Article on Literacy
Six LDS published authors will come to
your ward or stake to give a fireside or Enrichment presentation! This is a
fun, unique, and energy-filled look at literacy. Youth literacy presentations
also available. All presentations are free.
Outline for Firesides & Enrichment:
The literary and spiritual impact of
children seeing parents read.
Ideas for the Reluctant Reader and
The importance of reading to children.
How reading affects our families.
The statistics of literacy.
How to encourage your children to
read the scriptures.
What the prophets say about
spiritual and temporal literacy.
The current trends in the LDS book
market.
Outline for Youth Groups:
Why reading is important.
The spiritual importance of reading
as a youth.
How reading affects our families.
The statistics of literacy.
How to get the most out of reading
the scriptures as a teen.
What the prophets say about
spiritual and temporal literacy.
The current trends in the LDS book
market.
Special Note:
These presentations can also be customized to fit your group’s interests and
needs. This is not used as an opportunity to promote any of the authors’
books but rather to discuss the importance of literacy. Before the event, we
will get handouts with literacy information to your leaders for copying. By
request, the authors will bring "give-away" books and have a fun
book drawing at the end of the evening.
