One District/One Book

Dunlap School District #323

Dunlap School District is embarking on a special project, an all district book club called One District, One Book. All students will receive a copy of "Chocolate Touch" to bring home, share with you, and keep! All classroom teachers will be reading the book to their students over the next several weeks, with culminating activities taking place at school the Week of September 23rd.

Although the students will be hearing the story at school, you are also encouraged to read it with your child at home.

The goal of the project is to aim to build a culture of readers across Dunlap School District. Everyone- students, teachers, and administration- will be participating.

One District, One Book is a novel program in that children at all grade levels will all be listening to the same book, and it makes sound educational sense. Reading professionals recommend reading material out loud that is beyond a child’s own reading level. And we also believe that you can and should continue reading chapter books with your older children, even when they are able to read by themselves. We have selected a title that can be followed, understood, and enjoyed by younger students, but will still captivate and stimulate older children.

When a whole district reads a book, there’s a lot to talk about! With your help, we can continue to build a culture of readers across Dunlap School District.
