“Literacy is so important,” said Katie Edwards, Senior Vice President of External Affairs. “They say that literacy levels by the third grade have such an impact. [Those reading skills] go with them for the rest of their lives. We just want to make reading fun. You can log your minutes and win prizes from Whataburger and the Mavs. The whole point is to read and to love reading, not just because you have to. We want it to become because they want to.”
