I think this is a great program. People will be surprised how much children appreciate books. Especially when the books are brand new, it makes them feel important and special that they are worthy of new books. Kudos to this organization...
Sounds like a great idea. I think a lot of the kids in my class could make good use out of this opportunity. I'm sure there aren't many kids out there who can just go out and buy books. I've just started reading more often and I really enjoy it and have been talking to my students about it. If I can get them to read my blog after linking this, it could work out good. Thanks.
