Ask any kindergartener why it is important to go to school and you will most likely hear "so I can learn to read!" Started in 1985 as a way to motivate kids to read more, the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program has become the largest reading motivation program in America. The goal today is the same as it was then - to help children develop a lifelong love of reading. In 1998, Pizza Hut created BOOK IT! to help develop a love of books in even the youngest of students.

Pizza Hut and its franchisees are committed to kids and reading - and look forward to continuing this commitment for many years to come. For more information visit www.bookitprogram.com.
