Six Flags has launched its highly successful children's literacy program, Read to Succeed, for the 2003-04 school year. Six Flags theme parks will reward kids who read outside of the classroom. Six Flags Great America in Gurnee is one of the most active Read to Succeed parks, according to the company. Last year, Great America honored more students in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin through the literacy program than ever before. More than 373,000 students and teachers from almost 3,000 schools in the five states participated in Read to Succeed and earned 400,163 free tickets to the park.

Hoping that certain people will realize how lame they sound. SF is doing a really good thing. Its nice PR for them and its good for the community. And yes, it makes them money. Like others said, parents still pay for admission and because the family saved money on the kid's ticket, they will be more likely to open their wallets in other places during the day at the park. It benefits everyone.
