ORACLES
The ORAcle, ORA's regular newsletter, is now published electronically three times a year. It includes local council news and events, guest articles, regular columns on secondary literacy, English language learners, children's literature, parents and reading, and information about ORA sponsored projects such as The Patricia Gallagher Children's Choice Book Award, Literacy Grants, and Teachers As Readers (TAR) groups. It also has information about our upcoming annual conference, our professional lending book/video library, and a message from our president. The ORAcles will be posted below when they are available.

ORACLE ARTICLES
We are posting selected articles from past printed ORAcles that have continued interest such as guest articles and regular columns. The annual conference, book award, literacy grants, library titles, TAR groups, and local council information is available on other pages of this website. Some of the articles have been reformatted since appearing in the ORAcle.

Click on a link below to download a particular article from past ORAcles. They are arranged by topic. The links in blue are ready. The others will be posted soon and more will be added.
