Add Comment Add Comment | Comments: 0 | Posted Feb. 18, 2010

The Phillie Phanatic, the star of five children’s books, has turned his love of reading into the “Be a Phanatic About Reading” program for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Students are encouraged to improve their literacy skills by reading for a minimum of 15 minutes a day.

The green-and-furry mascot will visit the top-performing schools.

For information on how to register, call 215-463-1000 or e-mail fandev@phillies.com.
