“Not all readers become leaders, but all leaders must be readers.”—Harry Truman
This is a collection of ten reproducible short biographies, extension activities, and further reading and Web resrouce listings that explores the role that books and reading played in the lives of ten historical figures: Andrew Carnegie, Melvil Dewey, Emily Dickinson, Frederick Douglass, Thomas Edison, Anne Frank, Benjamin Franklin, Helen Keller, Norman Rockwell, and Harry Truman. How old were they when they learned to read? Who taught them? What kinds of books did they most enjoy reading? To what extent did the books they read as children page the way for their many accomplishments later in life? More to the point, what inspiring lessons about books and reading can we learn from these readers and leaders. Grades 5–9.
