Get Caught Reading Relaunched by Every Child a Reader
Get Caught Reading is a nationwide campaign to promote
the fun of reading books for all ages. Launched in 1999 by the Association of American Publishers and now
managed by Every Child a Reader
with support from the Lois Lenski
Covey Foundation, Get Caught Reading provides teachers and librarians with
small posters of TV and sports stars, authors, and beloved book characters
reading a book. Recent posters feature wonderful role models from recent USA
Olympic teams.
Because
of research indicating that early language experience actually stimulates a
child's brain to grow and that reading to children gives them a huge advantage
when they start school, we hope to encourage people of all ages to enjoy books
and magazines and to share that pleasure with the young children in their
lives.
The
campaign provides educators and librarians with 10 free posters to promote a
love of learning through literacy.
