New Series on Common Reading at NAS.org

Ashley Thorne

To make it easier for our readers to find our work on college common reading, we created a new article series on the NAS website, www.nas.org. You can find these articles by going to the green "Article Series" button on the left sidebar of the homepage, and clicking "Common Reading Project" on the flyout menu. We'll soon add a button on the homepage for our "Better Books" for common reading programs. Our study on common reading is a platform we aim to build on in future undertakings, so stay tuned for further developments, and let us know your suggestions for additional related projects.
