To begin with, reading is- undoubtedly- an essential and entertaining tool. As of 2003, the illiteracy rate in Prince George’s County was at twenty-two percent. Granted, I haven’t the slightest idea as to how much this number has changed, if we encourage reading nonetheless, this percentage will hopefully decrease.
