Give the Gift of Reading

For The Mercury News, someone writes…
\”Of all the gifts I will buy this holiday season, none will be as rewarding as the gift of reading: a book for an underprivileged child. I\’ll never meet the kid who receives it. I won\’t be there when he turns the first page. And someone else will see him smile. But I know this much: I\’ll be smiling anyway. When you give a book to Gift of Reading, it doesn\’t just go under the Christmas tree with the toys. They go to reading programs at libraries, schools, homeless shelters and other social service agencies. These groups distribute the books to children. They also teach parents, some of whom barely can read themselves, how to read to their children. When you give the gift of reading, you also are helping to end the cycle of illiteracy.\” More
