"This is a great opportunity to help promote children\'s literacy across the
country," said Scott Wolf, ArcaMax president & CEO. "Reading Is Fundamental has
devoted more than 40 years to this great cause, and we couldn\'t be happier to offer

Reading Is Fundamental, Inc., founded in 1966, motivates children to read by working
with them, their parents, and community members to make reading a fun and beneficial
part of everyday life. RIF's highest priority is reaching underserved children from
birth to age 8. Through community volunteers in every state and U.S. territory, RIF
provides 4.5 million children with 16 million new, free books and literacy resources
each year.

ArcaMax also supports literacy by offering 700 free classic books-the largest
collection of free texts on the Internet by e-mail. Visitors can browse titles in
genres such as fiction, religion, and poetry, and select one or more to receive a
chapter a day by e-mail.

Other ArcaMax features include a daily book reviews newsletter, a back to school
guide and 75 other popular content categories and newsletters.

The back-to-school guide features a reading list of ArcaMax Book Club selections.
Available books include The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, The Call of the Wild by
Jack London and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

\"Reading Is Fundamental promotes the most rewarding and popular past-time and we
can\'t help but feel ArcaMax visitors will want to help other kids join in on the fun
and fulfillment of reading,\" Wolf said.
