Words of Inspiration and Motivation


Words of Inspiration and Motivation

“There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves.” Lyndon B. Johnson

“Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.” Lyndon B. Johnson

“Experts generally agree that taking all opportunities to read books and other material aloud to children is the best preparation for their learning to read. The pleasures of being read to are far more likely to strengthen a child's desire to learn to read than are repetitions of sounds, alphabet drills, and deciphering uninteresting words” Lillian G. Katz

“A mind is a terrible thing to waste” Anonymous

Children are the future of our country, invest in them wisely” Anonymous
 
These inspirational quotes are from Lyndon B. Johnson and Lillian Katz.  The others are quotes that I have seen or read.  These quotes inspire the need to provide a quality education for all children.

  3. I really enjoyed your quote from Lillian Katz. The suggestion that reading and immersion in books is far more interesting and engaging than the repetitiveness of phonetics and alphabet reciting. Nice quote. I must reaquaint myself with Lillian Katz once again.
