About the Book

Bestselling authors Kylene Beers and Robert E. Probst explore why independent reading is vital to the intellectual and developmental growth of students as citizens of our world and as architects of the future. Forged by Reading explores historic and timely topics through the context of literacy--literacy being the gateway to power and privilege--while serving as nothing short of a call to action. One that reminds educators of their critical hand in empowering readers to think, to seek curiosity and skepticism, to shape themselves and their ideas through evidence and reason, vision and imagination, and in doing so to forge themselves and our world through reading.

"This book will open the door to an understanding of literacy like no other. But, it's not a how-to-use-literature-to-empower-our-kids-book. It's a why-haven't-we book. It's a we-must book. Forged by Reading is filled with hard truths, and the inspiration needed to walk towards a new world--one where relevant reading rules. So, put your walking shoes on, get ready for the hard, necessary work, and let Kylene and Bob show us the way." --Kwame Alexander, poet, educator, and New York Times bestselling author of Light for the World to See: A Thousand Words on Race and Hope

"If you haven't read a single Beers & Probst educational bible to date, read Forged by Reading. It's all right here...at the time of American education's greatest need. There may well be no creative power greater than that of language...reading language, writing language, understanding language, embracing language. With Forged by Reading, Kylene and Bob hand us a roadmap to unleashing that power. Read it. Revel in it. Use it." --Chris Crutcher, bestselling author and recipient of the American Library Association Margaret Edwards Award for Lifetime Achievement and the NCTE Intellectual Freedom Award.

"Forged by Reading is scholarship that shows us not only how our literacies link us to each other, but also, how reading links to our uniquely human souls."-Jennifer Ochoa, middle school teacher, NYC Public Schools, and award-winning educator

"Beers and Probst, who explore the moral imperative of liberatory pedagogy, remind us that those who read and discuss books hone literate minds--the key to transforming their own their lives, as well as our greatest hope for transforming our democracy--bending its arc toward equity and justice for all." --Ernest Morrell, Coyle Professor of Literacy Education, University of Notre Dame

"This timely book is a call to action for educators to embrace the languages, cultures, and identities of our students, disrupt the oppressive reading and writing practices in classrooms across this nation--and replace them with humane, equitable instruction for all." --Yalitza Vasquez, VP of Multilingual Education, Trinity Education Group, and Former Senior Executive Director Division of English Language Learners, NYC Department of Education

"Literacy is an essential element of freedom and the ways in which it is withheld contributes to oppression. This book will shift how you regard your teaching: abolish harmful pedagogies, confirm just practices, and travel with your colleagues on an epic journey of literacy justice." --Kate Roberts, author, consultant, and guest teacher

"Kylene and Bob show us why student compliance is not our goal and why testing and standards too often interfere with our bigger goals for literacy. They also ask us to be brave and to anchor our work in these understandings so we can achieve the ultimate aim: students who live the power of reading." --Franki Sibberson, teacher, librarian, author, past president of NCTE

"Consider the intimate connection between education and our democratic ideals. Forged by Reading is a powerful and timely reminder that when we are equipped with insight and the truth of who we are, we can be what's right." --Cornelius Minor, educator and author of We Got This: Equity, Access, and the Quest to Be Who Our Students Need Us to Be
