- Art & Literacy Shmulsky, Lucinda School Libraries Grade 1 Art Activities Integrated Curriculum Elementary School Students Writing Assignments Literacy Education Teaching Methods Student Motivation Pilot Projects Illustrations In July 2004, The National Endowment for the Arts released the results of a survey entitled "Reading at Risk." The survey covered a 20-year period from 1982 to 2002 and documented a dramatic decline in the reading of literary works by all age groups during that period. The steepest decline of 28 percent was found among the youngest age group of 18- to 24-year-olds. In this article, the author describes a pilot project that engages young students in the love of reading by using the arts as an integral part of the process. In the pilot project, first-grade students, entering second grade, were invited to write and illustrate stories. These stories were then preserved in clear plastic sleeves in a three-ring binder with a full-view cover for artwork, to be housed in the school library as part of an ongoing art and literacy project.
