Want to get your own Redskins Read activity book featuring Jason Campbell and your favorite Redskins players?
The Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation produces a free activity book for kids in kindergarten through sixth grade that uses football to teach language arts, math, art, science and social studies.

This year, 350,000 Redskins Read activity books will be distributed to schools, public libraries, literacy centers, afterschool programs, and nonprofit organizations throughout the greater Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
