"Did you know that 1 in 5 children has difficulty reading? I know because I was one of them. I remember the fear of being called on to read aloud in class. But reading is an essential life skill and, like any other skill, can be improved with practice. I started BOOKS to encourage children to read more and to change the way they think about reading. " NYS Senator Libous.
By offering a program that rewards children for the time they spend reading, rather than the number of books they read, we make reading fun for every kid. And by making reading fun we open up a whole new world of opportunity for them.
