You’ve heard of gym teachers asking students to “drop and give me 20!” before.
Now, thanks to the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program, that pledge is being
moved into the classroom. The Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program, which is the
longest running corporate literacy program in the country, is launching
its “Give Me 20 Challenge.” (No pushups
required!)
The Give Me 20 Challenge is designed to get kids to commit to read
20 minutes a day, for eight weeks. Families and classrooms that meet the
eight-week challenge can enter for a chance to win one of fifty The Very Hungry Caterpillar prize packages.
Why take the challenge?
Children who read themselves and are read
to on a regular basis show more interest in books, have a higher
vocabulary, and learn to read more easily...and just 20 minutes a day is
all it takes.

I love this concept. My 4 year old has a huge book collection and loves tp read, especially if it's a Mickey Mouse book. However, getting my 11 and 13 year olds to read is like pulling teeth! They hate reading so anything that will benefit them and help get them to learn to love reading is a huge plus in my book!
Giveaway!
