Rally to Read 100

Twenty-five million children in the U.S. are not reading at a proficient grade level. We must unite our nation of educators, families, and volunteers to rally around reading. Thank you to our incredible authors for reading their stories, Penguin Random House, and our other participating publishers, our Promotional Partners and our Inspiration Partners including Barnes & Noble, Macy's, and Nellie Mae Education Foundation, for making a fourth year of Rally to Read a reality, and the thousands of educators who let us come into your classroom each month to inspire a joy of reading.
