Since 2006, the Junior League of Texarkana has partnered with local school districts to encourage children to develop a greater interest in reading through their program "Spring into Reading".
Books open the way for many of us to fulfill our dreams, expand our imaginations and even experience other cultures. (Can you tell I love to read?) Therefore, I want to let you know about the "Race To Read" race coming up in November.
It may seem that our modern culture doesn’t really encourage children to read much these days. With all the cartoons, video games and social media sites available today, it is no wonder that our young people are easily distracted. That’s one of the reasons I’m so delighted when I see parents who work hard to engage their children and teach them the power of literacy.
