Reading Lists and the Million Words campaign
Each Bradley student is encouraged to read books on their grade-level reading list. Our ECE through 2nd grade students reading lists include unique authors whose writing reflects our IB attitudes and attributes. Students who complete their reading list by the month of May will be recognized at our Literacy Assembly and they will receive a reading list certificate!

Bradley International School has been a part of the Read A Million Words campaign for over 11 years! Each year, we have MORE and MORE students reading 1 million words or more! Students can keep track of how many words they read two ways.
1. They can look at their TOPS report when they take an AR quiz.
2. Students can write down the titles of the books they read and give Ms. Distel their list!
