RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - North Carolina kids will be reading this summer. The "Give Five-Read Five" campaign has put 946,000 new and gently-used books in kids hands.
In addition, a partnership between the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) and myON gives students access digital books that can be downloaded for free.
“'Give Five – Read Five' has grown in ways I could have never imagined since we first launched the effort in 2013,” said State Superintendent June Atkinson in a news release. “More impressive than the total number of books collected is the overwhelming enthusiasm and joy I have seen among principals, teachers, students and supporters as young learners get to select their very own books to take home at the end of the school year."
