United Way and the queen of country music want young children to be literate, so they’re offering one free book per month to every kid under age 5 in Snohomish County.

United Way announced the partnership during its annual fundraiser this June, and within three days, registration jumped to 1,500 children across Snohomish County.

“The day a child is born, they can sign up to have books delivered straight to their home,” said Brittany Williams, the director of communication for United Way of Snohomish County. “The goal is that the kids will be prepared for kindergarten — that they’ll be at the literacy level that is expected.”
