STAMFORD, Conn., July 12, 2004 – World Wrestling Entertainment is proud to present its second annual Get R.E.A.L. Summer Reading Spectacular to encourage summer reading.

The Summer Reading Spectacular coincides with the kick-off of WWE’s summer Get R.E.A.L. Read program. WWE Superstars will be visiting libraries across the country to read to children and teens to stress the importance of reading.

Here’s how it works. Send us the titles of two books, including the names of the authors, that you are going to read this summer and receive a complimentary poster featuring either WWE SmackDown!™ Superstar Eddie Guerrero™, John Cena™, Charlie Haas™ or Miss Jackie™ or posters featuring either Monday Night RAW Superstars Chris Benoit®, Shelton Benjamin™, Edge®, or The Hurricane®. Send us the titles of four books, and receive two posters, and so on. All submissions can be e-mailed to getreal@wwe.com and be sure to include your mailing address so we can send you the posters!

Since 2001, the Get R.E.A.L. Read program has partnered with schools and libraries across the country promoting the importance of reading and education. Get R.E.A.L. is an acronym for Respect, Education, Achievement, and Leadership.
