by Cynthia "Lady Rose" Roberson

Cynthia "Lady Rose" Roberson is a well-known singer and song writer, flooring audiences from
the famous Apollo Theater in New York City to Sapparo Japan. She has even performed with
the late Ray Charles.
As a dedicated mother and School Library Media Specialist for Newark Public Schools, this
modern day educator is using her gift of creativity and artistic accomplishment to enhance the
quality of learning in the school library media center through what she calls, "The Arts in
Language Arts."
By using the arts of music, drama, dance, poetry, with arts and crafts, students are encouraged
to build on those innate strengths to overcome their weaknesses. This specialist understands
that her students possess unique talents and special abilities that standardized testing don't
measure or account for. Since learners are different, The ABC's of the RITTA BOOK (R) Library
concept provides a variety of teaching methods to better match the variety of learning styles
and interests that students bring into the media center, making teaching and learning a more
appealing and rewarding experience for both students and educators alike.
When you enjoy what you do and you do YOUR best
You are a Success!

From past and present, in addition to those that will
follow, this book is dedicated to the students and staff,
as well as the parents and faculty of the South 17th
Street School of Newark, New Jersey. It is truly the spirit
of this school that infused life into the vision and
inspiration of this book.
Thanks to you I now know what I want to be as a
grown-up, an Educator!!! You helped me to find God's
purpose for my life and to view the library as a very
special place. Much Much Thanks to you all.

...Ritta Book (R), which actually stands for Reaching
Imaginations Today Tomorrow and Always with
Breathtaking Objects Of Knowledge, was designed to
take the guess work away from what students already
know and what parents and educators feel their
students need to know.
