Jennifer Garner was in Kentucky recently to film segments for Idol Gives Back, scheduled to hit the Fox Network on April 21.

Garner visited an elementary school in Brethitt County to encourage literacy in children.

“She was super. She worked wonderfully with the kids,” LBJ Elementary School Principal Ron Combs told the Brethhitt Times-Voice. “She was excited to be here, and she was familiar with the terrain of this area, since she grew up in West Virginia. She understands this region.”

Garner is well known for advocating education and literacy in children. Earlier this year she asked Barack Obama for additional funding for early childhood education. She also attended February’s Milk+Bookies Story Time Celebration. Watch our exclusive video of the event here.
