Rose Flores, S Cook Productions LLC The University of Florida Lastinger Center for Learning and Scholastic held a community celebration March 29 at the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens to mark the first 100,000 students enrolled in the New Worlds Reading Initiative, a free, new literacy program to help Florida students read at grade level. The “Reading Makes You, You — at the Zoo!” event featured fun activities for participants, and they also received a free book and meal as part of the celebration.
