Earlier this summer, we were excited to help kick off the “Won’t You Be a Reader?” campaign, a year-long literacy effort that brings together a whole bunch of Pittsburgh area organizations.
If you’re curious about all the ways your family can get involved, including entering the Jerome Bettis Summer Reading Challenge (which runs through Aug. 31, so your kids still have time to get involved and maybe win tickets to a Steelers home game!) or by telling us about your favorite books so we can feature you (or your kids!) in our Book Picks series, check out the video below.
Pittsburgh’s first lady, Katie O’Connor, and Kidsburgh’s director Yu-Ling Cheng stopped by KDKA-TV’s “Pittsburgh Today Live” recently to talk all about this project and the fun events planned for this fall (including Literacy Under the Lights celebrations on local football fields) with PTL hosts David Highfield and Heather Abraham.
