Students at Carter Street Head Start were asked:
"Read, read, read. Your teachers are always telling how important it is to read. Why is it important?"
ANASTASIA DORMAN, 4 "Because (it is) not so important when you practice your letters."
HARRISON NULL, 3 "Because it's dangerous."
SAVANNAH MCDONALD, 5 "Cause my mommy, Gina, forgot to read me that fishy story."
ALAN VERONE, 5 "Makes you learn."
