Reading Incentive
Love of Reading
The Reading Committee was formed to foster the love of reading. This committee meets to create a variety of literacy experiences. It is the hope of the Reading Committee to use extrinsic motivation to intrinsically motivate student to learn to read and then read to learn. Reading Incentive activities will occur during and after school hours in hopes to include the whole Longfields Elementary Community. If you have any literacy ideas that you are interested in our students’ experiencing or if you would like to read aloud to our scholars, please email Ms. Reed, areed@pgcps.org.

Reading Goal
Since we will utilize digital platforms, our reading plan has changed. We will no longer require students to turn in weekly/monthly reading logs. We are going to allow them to drive their own reading as they read eBook selections on Scholastic Literacy Pro Library for grades K-6. Literacy Pro Library will track the hours read. Those hours will be used to determine if a student met his/her reading goal monthly. The weekly goal will be 60 minutes of reading. Therefore, the monthly goal will be 210/240 minutes based on the number of weeks in the month.
