CYPRESS, Calif., Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Family-owned
supplemental educational publisher Creative Teaching Press (CTP)
announces today the launch of its exciting new Learn to Read:
Buy One, Gift One! Program, an initiative to promote literacy
and encourage the love of reading in children worldwide. CTP's
mission for this program is to gift a book to a deserving child
each time a Learn to Read book is purchased. To find
out more, please schedule an appointment with Jim Connelly at Toy Fair by contacting
Bunny Benson at
bunny.benson@creativeteaching.com.
"We believe literacy is a critical right for every child,
regardless of culture, background, or circumstances," said
Jim Connelly, CTP President and CEO.
"Sharing the gift of reading will enrich the lives of children and
build their self-confidence," he added.
Studies show that early exposure to books helps young children
learn language and literacy skills—the very foundation of academic
success. In underserved neighborhoods, books can be hard to come
by, which adversely affects the education and lives of children in
these environments. Benefits of book ownership for children can be
life-changing, potentially shaping choices they make and leading to
greater odds of success and achievement. CTP's Learn to Read:
Buy One, Gift One! program provides literacy access to these
at-risk children.
The Learn to Read stories were designed to engage young
children through loveable characters, charming story lines, and
teacher-written text that provides the utmost support to developing
readers. The best-selling book series has earned critical acclaim
from educators and parents worldwide, and has received awards from
Creative Child Magazine, Dr. Toy, Mom's
Choice, and more!
CTP will distribute free Learn to Read books to
accredited, approved organizations working with children in
underserved and at-risk communities. Book recipient
applications are available at www.giftlearntoread.com.
The Learn to Read: Buy One, Gift One! program makes its
debut at Toy Fair in New York City
from 2/17 to 2/20. In addition, the program will be at London
Book Fair from 4/10 to 4/22 in Stand 1B10 and at Book Expo
America/Book Con in New York City
from 5/31 to 6/3 in Booth #1611.
