We are the largest and longest-running corporate supported reading program and now we are fostering the second generation of program alumni. We know that reading makes a difference.”

“You can set goals based on your students’ reading ability,” the website notes. “Number of minutes, number of pages or number of books – they all work! For children not yet reading independently, you can set a goal where their parent or others read to them.”
Kids in Book It! can earn one free pizza per month during the program. It’s free for schools and parents of pre-K to sixth-grade students (ages 4 to 12).
