A program that I participate in regularly is BookPALS - Performing Artists for Literacy in Schools. It's a wonderful program that brings the fun, imagination, and wonder of reading to school children in a way that demonstrates that reading is not a chore, but an enrichment to their lives. As an actor, you can imagine that I enjoy these "performances" and, from their rapt attention, it is very clear that they enjoy these visits to their schoolroom. I have no doubt that as a consequence, books and reading have taken on a grander importance in their lives.
Need I say that it is a very gratifying experience for me as well!
