What Reading Counts for the Read to Succeed Program? What type of reading counts? Recreational reading including newspapers, comic books, novels, eBooks and nonfiction will count. Students can read independently, or parents can read to younger students.
Does reading for a class assignment, schoolwork or homework count towards the six hour goal? No, students must complete six hours of recreational reading. This means NO homework, class assignment or required reading from the teacher.
Can students log class reading towards the six hour goal? No, students need to read for enjoyment – this means NO assigned books from the teacher. If each student in a class or school read all the same books on the same days for the same amount of time, this can be seen as cheating and will be investigated.
LOGGING READING HOURS:
Each student received a paper copy of the form on the left that has instructions on how to record their reading hours. However, this form DOES NOT get returned to me. Everything for this program is logged online, so if your student has lost their form, you can use the information form the photo on the left.
