Reese Witherspoon literacy raising readers.

Oscar-winning actor Reese Witherspoon is teaming up with Hachette Book Group for a literacy campaign. Starting this fall, new audiobooks from authors like Nathan Harris and Patricia Cornwell will include a message from Witherspoon. She urges parents to read to their children for at least 10 minutes a day, visit libraries and form book clubs. Witherspoon’s book club has boosted sales for such authors as R.F. Kuang and Ann Patchett. This initiative is part of Hachette’s “Raising Readers” campaign. Hachette CEO David Shelley says Witherspoon’s involvement is a tremendous asset.
