Recently George and I hosted a special preview of Precious in our hometown, Houston. The【C1】______of 200 included young people and old, teachers and corporate executives, parents and grandparents, and folks of just about every ethnic and economic【C2】______.

I’m proud that the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy has given out 773 literacy【C19】______in 50 states and the District of Columbia. We give them to programs whose goal is to teach both parents and children to read. This is happening in schools, prisons, workplaces, and communities.
