I was never a cheerleader, but if I could perform a cheer right now, I’d perform a cheer for reading, of course. Two, four, six, eight, what do I appreciate, reading, hey, hey, we’re reading. Well, that really didn’t have the punch I hoped for, but it doesn’t matter because reading in August (or anytime, for that matter) is worth cheering. Give me an A! Give me a U! Give me a G! Give me another U! Give me an S! Give me a T! What does that spell? AUGUST – YAY AUGUST!
