Jim Trelease

James Joseph Trelease (March 23, 1941 – July 28, 2022)[1] was an American educator and author who stressed reading aloud to children to instill a love of literature.

[3] In 1963, he married Susan Kelleher and had two children: Elizabeth Jane and James Joseph, Jr. Trelease.

In 1990, a reel-to-reel tape of Bill Campbell's entire fourth quarter call surfaced.

The NBA merged the reel-to-reel with the dictaphone tape, which also included a short postgame show.

However, the information and research was published in education journals or written in academic language that exceeded the understanding of the average parent or teacher.

[3] It is also used as a text for future teachers, and is the basis for more than 3,000 elementary and secondary schools adopting sustained silent reading as a regular part of the academic day.
