Then Nancy came with her students who read Dr. Seuss. And that was it. He was so excited, that he read and re-read every Dr. Seuss book he could find. He definitely was turned on to reading. Percival, like other librarians and classroom teachers, follows up each story session by letting her students know where to find the books that have been read, and whether there are others by the same author.
Students remember their early positive experiences in the world of books.
Snow remembers one student who, as a youngster at Effie Green Elementary School in Raleigh, had listened to N.C. State students spinning stories. When she enrolled at N.C. State, she headed straight for Snow's class as a way to pass on the experiences to the next generation. Snow's students go beyond the minimum requirements for the class. Last year, a student wrote scripts to go along with children's fables and these are being used by current communication students and shared with teachers and librarians. The students also have video taped their work for use by teachers all across the state.
