Lanetra Bennett reads ‘Corduroy’ as part of the ‘Let’s Read’ initiative from Midtown Reader in Tallahassee

  • February 10, 2026

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – WCTV needs your help to promote literacy among children in the capital city.

This week, WCTV is hosting read-alongs with our anchors to highlight “Let’s Read,” a collaboration between WCTV and Midtown Reader to raise funds to purchase books for students at Title 1 schools in Leon County.

For each read-along, our team will read a children’s book live here on wctv.tv for families across the Big Bend to enjoy.

On Monday, WCTV Reporter Brianna Shaw will read “Cat in the Hat.” To read along with Brianna, view the video above.

Donations will go towards three-yearly book fairs at the Title 1 schools to ensure students can attend the fair and take home two books for free.

To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky and X (Twitter).
