My Project

Let's share the joy of reading! We have 600 students in our rural community who are bright and eager to work but have been so digitized by media that they haven't learned the joy of reading! I want them to learn that reading is sweet!

We're using reading logs to track reading minutes, asking students to review their books, and when they acquire 600 minutes of reading time they're invited to visit our reading store to buy books paired with sweet accessories.

Please help us incentivize our readers to find the JOY!
