North Carolina sets 10 million book goal for students
Original: NC wants students to read 10 million books, as reading for fun drops
North Carolina is launching an effort to get students to read 10 million books, according to WRAL. The push comes as reading for pleasure among young people continues to decline, a trend educators and officials are increasingly worried about. The initiative aims to reverse that slide by encouraging voluntary reading across the state's schools.
Why now: Concerns over declining recreational reading among children have made the state's large-scale reading challenge newsworthy.
