Readers, how many pages have you read today? Or this week? Well, start counting because the number of pages you read can now be put to good use. Not only will reading provide you limitless satisfaction and glorious entertainment but now World Education has adopted a #pages4progress campaign where for each page you read they will donate a dollar to various education and literacy resources. This initiative stands to benefits countless people who either haven't learned to or have trouble reading. It's wonderful because World Education is not asking for money or for donations, instead they are asking us all to do what we do best, read. Simply visit their website (click on the image below) and log your pages.
