Hopes & Dreams for Taylor Students: The Reading Team at Taylor hopes that our students come in excited about school every day and especially about something they read. We want them to embrace how reading is the most important, fundamental skill that will help them to be successful in life. We hope that they read books that grow their vocabulary, grow their confidence, stimulate their intellect, strengthen their writing skills, take them on adventures, tickle their funny bones, peak their curiosity, make them culturally responsive, resonate their humanity, reflect their kindness and help them develop an appetite for rich, diverse literature. Most of all, we hope Taylor students embody a deep love & passion for reading that they pass on through the ages.
