BWI: How do you structure your outreach programs to get kids interested in why reading is important? Will your outreach programs extend to parents?
JS: The message gets to kids because it is a good message… and one they like to hear. The basic idea is to motivate kids to read by letting them read texts they enjoy reading. And parents are the first ones who have to get the message.
