问题     When Lynne Waihee, wife of Hawaii’s former governor, heard Jim Trelease speak, she was inspired. She soon persuaded Rotary Clubs, libraries, schools and several corporations in her state to develop the "Read to Me" campaign. Its goal: to see that every child in Hawaii is read to for at least ten minutes very day. "For years our literacy program had targeted the adult population," Waihee says, "but we realized that if we could focus attention on raising a literate population instead of fixing up an illiterate one, our chance of success would be much greater."
    "Read to Me" promotes its message through advertisements, including radio and TV spots. In addition, every elementary school and library in Hawaii has received a bibliography of recommended children’s books and a ten-minute videotape on the whys and hows of reading aloud.
    Hawaii’s enormously popular program has been adopted in Colorado, Wyoming, Alaska and Texas.’ Several other states are also planning to launch it. On the national level several trade organizations have recently begun a similar campaign called "The Most Important 20 Minutes of Your Day."
    Meanwhile, Trelease goes on planting the seeds of reading. He is walking about the auditorium in St. Helena now, gesturing to nobody in particular. "You, sir, had time to watch your favorite ball team yesterday. You, ma’am, had time to go to the mall. You had time to run to the comer store to play that lottery ticket, get cigarettes, rent a video. You had time to chase dust balls under the couch. But you didn’t have time to read to your child? I can tell you this unequivocally: 20 years from now the dust balls will Still be under the couch, but your little boy or girl will no longer be your little boy or girl."
    The message takes. Two hours after he began, a hundred people go home to sleeping children. And tomorrow, for reasons they will not understand, a lot of kids will hear their parents read to them, perhaps for the first time in years.
