Some Principals Would Do Anything to Get Kids to Read.

Cowan, Linda L.

Executive Educator, v13 n3 p13 Mar 1991

The program allots 20 minutes daily for schoolwide reading and features home reading contracts, student participation awards, and theme weeks. For one event, the principal dons a gorilla suit. (MLH)
