Educators Make a Difference!

As a Salt Lake County educator, we are asking you to encourage students and caregivers to sign up for the County Library's 2023 All-Star Winter Reading Challenge.

Why?

Student participation in the All-Star Winter Reading program has many benefits, including social, mental, emotional, and physical development, knowledge retention, improved test scores, and increased interest in school subjects. Essentially, All-Star Winter Reading is just like Summer Reading, but cozier, with more blankets and maybe some basketballs!

Sign up your class as a group

• Contact your local County Librarian, either via email, phone, or visiting a branch.

• Ask to sign up for All-Star Winter Reading as a group or classroom.

• Be prepared with the name of your school, the average age of your students, and how many students are in your class.

• Read, Create, Learn, Play and Connect as a classroom January 3–February 18.

• Record your activities for the whole classroom in the Beanstack app.

• One activity every other day will ensure you complete the challenge!

• Discuss with your County Librarian the best way to collect prize books for your class. You can arrange a field trip to the library or schedule a visit in your classroom.

Cost?

The All-Star Winter Reading program is free of charge so no one is excluded for financial reasons.
