CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — An analysis by the National Assessment of Education Progress found 25 million children in the United States cannot read proficiently.

At Eyewitness News, we're dedicated to supporting children's literacy.

Our parent company, Sinclair, is partnering with Reading Is Fundamental through the Sinclair Cares: Supporting Children’s Literacy Virtual Book Drive. Just $4 can put a new book in the hands of a child and help us create a nation of readers.

Over the next month, Eyewitness News anchors, reporters, meteorologists and other team members will be reading aloud to students across our area.

Our first stop is Bible Center School in Charleston where Leslie Rubin talked with students about the importance of reading and had some fun at the same time.
