New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein said:
The love of reading has changed the lives of countless children. But it doesn't always come naturally; it often takes a lot of effort. Our students have worked hard to build their reading skills during the past few years. We are proud to partner with Scholastic and the amazing Ms. Rowling to reward students' efforts and encourage their continued success.
