******************************
Congratulations 93,789
readers reported their reading!
Do you read some each day? It can be
anything, a book, magazine, newspaper, or website. It can be for work,
school or leisure, with our children or by ourselves.
Our children need us to show them how
important reading is to their success in life. We know children learn
what is important by watching, so let's show them how important reading
is by being counted!
Watch for more
information~ Be counted!!
