We are excited to announce that we will be working with the Texas Legends again this year to implement their Legendary Reading Program. Below are details on how this will work.
The reading program will last from October to March and will be broken down into four quarters. The quarters will be:
Oct 16 - Nov 17
Nov 20 – Jan 5
Jan 8 - Feb 15
Feb 20 - March 28
During each quarter, students are encouraged to read and FINISH 10 books (5 fiction, 5 nonfiction). There will be some variation between grade levels on the number and type of each book.
Classroom teachers will pass out reading logs at the beginning of each quarter that students will need to keep track of. When they finish a book, parents or a teacher can sign off on the reading log.
At the end of the quarter, classroom teachers will report to me which of their students successfully completed the reading challenge. Prizes will be given to every student who successfully completes the challenge and their names will go into a drawing for the chance to win an additional prize and recognition as the Legendary Reader for that quarter.
Participation is optional.
