Hooked on Phonics works for Baltimore

Children need more than just food and shelter. They need books as well and Hooked on Phonics is ready to help.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Hooked on Phonics launched HOP Across America, a 10-city mobile bus tour. The Baltimore-based company has also partnered with First Book, a national non-profit organization, and is donating more than $1 million worth of HOP reading programs to disadvantaged kids in ten cities.
