Morris
begins by reflecting on all the things she does as a teacher-librarian:
technology leader, information specialist, program specialist, etc. During her
reflection, she is surprised she forgot about her role as a reading advisor. In
this article, Morris asks librarians to evaluate how reading fits into the
Common Core State Standards (CCSS). She provides an overview of the CCSS being
sure to address that media and research skills are integrated throughout the
standards. For this reason, Morris believes that literacy, more than ever, will
not only help students meet the expectations of CCSS, but also “the literacies
required of 21st-century college programs and workforce training”
(p.10). School libraries are central to school programs, however, by making
reading central in curriculum development for the CCSS, librarians can support
literacy across all disciplines.
