About BOOK IT! Beginners   BOOK IT! Beginners is a read-aloud program that builds reading-readiness skills and establishes an at-home reading routine by providing interactive classroom materials to teachers.  These materials add an exciting, hands-on activity to read-aloud time.  A literacy activity with a strong parent component, BOOK IT! Beginners was established in 1998 and reaches over 1.7 million children. In the Classroom Teachers read to the children in their class at least 60 minutes a week during March and April.  They write the name of each book they read – or the amount of time read – on an interactive cutout which children then place on the BOOK IT! Beginners poster.  At the end of each four-week reading period, teachers present each of the children in their class with a Reading Award Certificate. At Home Children who are read to at home show more interest in books, have a higher vocabulary, and learn to read more easily.  Teachers are encouraged to provide a supply of the cutouts for parents to use at home when they read aloud to their child to involve the family and establish an at-home reading routine that will continue into elementary school.  Reading aloud cannot be done too early or too often! At Pizza Hut Pizza Hut is proud of every BOOK IT! Beginner!  The restaurant manager and team congratulate each child for listening to the teacher read and reward them with a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza and an “I’m a BOOK IT! Beginner” Activity Sticker Sheet on both visits.
