Usher joins forces with Scholastic to help launch its “Open a World of Possible” initiative, which raises awareness about the importance of reading for children.
Scholastic will host a live webcast with Usher called “BIGGERTHAN WORDS,” which will explain how kids can open a world of possibilities through reading. The webcast will be held on November 6 at 10 a.m. EST live from Scholastic headquarters in New York City. According to Scholastic, Usher will directly address an audience of children and encourage them, their parents and their teachers to share their love of reading with others by becoming reading mentors and making a difference in their schools and communities.
Usher will not only give a lecture about reading but he will also treat everyone with a live performance.
“I established New Look, a charitable organization to assist young people to become leaders and to instill in them a belief that they can create change in their communities and around the world,” said Usher. “I’m excited to host the webcast with Scholastic to demonstrate to kids how reading frequently, and being a reading mentor to their friends and others in their community, can open doors to endless possibilities.”
In other news, Usher will kick off his “UR Experience World Tour” on November 1 in Montreal. See more tour dates here.
