What Did You Read Last Night?
The What Did You Read Last Night? (WDYRLN) campaign is a pro-reading campaign launched by the Cullman City Schools System during the 2006 – 2007 school year. It has been highly acclaimed for its ability to promote reading to children of all ages and its acceptability. It was praised by the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) for seamlessly tying in with ALSDE English and Reading curriculum standards. It also greatly increased the amount of received AR and RC points at the elementary and middle schools. The scores for the STAR Reading test also increased exponentially. The campaign has also been widely publicized and has started a surge in similar programs at other school systems. A song to complete the WDYRLN program was written and recorded by East Elementary School third grade teacher and trained vocalist Cindy Pass, and arranged by EES music teacher Tim Clemmons.<.

Famous quotes containing the word read:
“But the old world was restored and we returned
To the dreary field and workshop, and the immemorial feud
Of rich and poor. Our victory was our defeat.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
