Los Angeles Clippers and Scobre Educational Team Up for Reading Project
Fremont, California (PRWEB) August 28, 2013 -- Scobre Educational announced today that they have been commissioned by the Los Angeles Clippers to create a 48-page book for distribution through the team’s community outreach programs. The book will be a customized version of Scobre’s NBA licensed series ‘On the Hardwood: Los Angeles Clippers’, and will be engaging for both young readers and Clipper fans of all ages.
“The Clippers have expressed dedication to inspiring the next generation of readers, so it’s great to be able to blend our abilities in developing new readers with the excitement of Clippers basketball,” Scott Blumenthal, Scobre’s co-founder said. “Many striving readers will be able to read about their favorite Clippers for the first time in a book that is loaded with photographs and team history.”
