11 “Readers are better writers.” (MacDonell, 2004) “Readers are better at mathematics and science.” (OECD PISA Study, School Libraries and Student Achievement in Ontario, 2007)

12 Reading skills are also valued by employers. A 2006 survey found that nearly 90 percent of employers rated “reading comprehension” as “very important” for workers. (nytimes.com/2008/07/27)

13 Department of Education statistics also show that those who score higher on reading tests tend to earn higher incomes. (nytimes.com/2008/07/27)
