Do you remember the book that got you hooked on reading? The story that ignited your imagination?
Active readers remember what made them fall in love with reading. Now, 2 News Oklahoma and Grubbs Acura of Tulsa want to help Green Country 3rd graders find the books that open them up to the world of reading.
Every month, as part of Read 2 Lead, 2 News Oklahoma and Grubbs Acura of Tulsa are going to a 3rd-grade class to give each student a book AND have a celebration of books for the entire grade!
Why are we focusing on 3rd graders? Research shows that age group is critical in turning children into readers, and right now in Tulsa, that group is falling behind—72% of Tulsa 3rd graders are not proficient in reading.
Together, we can help turn that around.

We hope this program inspires a lifetime of reading for these kids and sends them to their local library to keep reading long after they finish their Read 2 Lead books.
Encouraging readers is important to 2 News Oklahoma. We’re also part of the Give a Child a Book program, working to help get books to kids. You can DONATE to that program HERE.
