Position Statement by AASL
Reading is a foundational skill for 21st-century
learners. Guiding learners to become engaged and
effective users of ideas and information and to
appreciate literature requires that they develop as
strategic readers who can
comprehend, analyze, and evaluate text in both
print and digital formats. Learners must also have
opportunities to read for enjoyment as well as for
information. School librarians are in a critical and
unique position to partner with other educators to
elevate the reading development of our nation¡¯s
youth (AASL, 2014).
