	The Battle of Bentonville--Reading 2
		The Battle of Bentonville was one of the last major fights in the Civil War.
		On the 19th of March a fierce attack was made by the whole rebel force, under Gen. Joe Johnston, upon the advance and flank of the marching column of the Left wing.
		Although this battle occurred nearly at the close of a long march--of two month's duration, without an opportunity of replenishing supplies--there was no lack of any article essential to the comfort of the wounded.

	Charles Byrne's Web Page - Reading >> Battle of the Books
		The Battle of the Books concept has been around for a while at least since I was in elementary.
		It is recommended that some of the books be below the reading level to spark the interest of students who may not be at the grade reading level and some be above the reading level to challenge the above average.
		Remember the whole idea is to motivate the kids to read on their own and to comprehend what they are reading.

	Hernando: Reading heroes
		"Reading is really the key to education," said Fiocca, who since the beginning of the year has worked with a small group of students in Adam Smith's fifth-grade class.
		Though DiRienzo admits that reading levels at his school were good -- earning an overall A rating in the state's latest academic reading standards -- he was certain he and his staff could do better.
		The idea for the reading program grew at least partly from the recent countywide initiative intended to tackle a downward trend in reading levels among Hernando County students.

		Battle Royale was an entertaining read, filled with violence and an underlying love story, it certainly kept me reading.

		As the South African Department of Education tells it, there was a straightforward reason for forcing the Afrikaans-language Mikro Primary School to enroll a group of English-speaking first-graders: In Kuilsriver, a rapidly growing suburb east of Cape Town, there wasn’t room for them elsewhere.
		But to the white, Afrikaans-speaking parents and officials at Mikro, as well as to Afrikaners and opposition leaders nationwide, the government’s move was nothing less than a threat to their culture.

	Texas School Board Wins Reading Textbook Battle -- March 2000 Education Reporter
		State Board Member and Vice Chairman Geraldine Miller, herself a trained reading specialist who works with dyslexic students, will personally supervise the Teacher Training Academies to be held this summer at the University of Texas to ensure that the program is not watered down.
		In 1996, 40 reading experts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and other Massachusetts universities jointly signed a letter blaming the whole language reading program for America's "serious decline in reading achievement." They argued that a mastery of phonics is fundamental to reading.
		Because Texas has the second-largest school system in the country with a $90 million budget for K-3 English reading books, publishers were persuaded to meet its demand for the shift in decodability.
