"READERS ARE WINNERS"
Reading Challenge

This program is designed for all students who enjoy reading at home. We know the more you read, the better you will read. The goal of this program is for students to read as much as possible at home during the entire school year. The guildelines are as follows:

1. Students in the primary grades can read picture books or have picture books read to them. For every picture book read, students will receive one point.
2. Students in the intermediate grades (and some primary students) can read novels. For every ten pages read, students will receive one point.
3. Primary Grades: Students will receive reading sheets for parents/guardians to complete. The parents will record the book titles along with their signatures. Parents can list as many books as possible on the sheet.
4. Intermediate Grades: Students in the intermediate grades must have their parents record the titles of their novels, along with the total number of pages read. The parents' signatures must be included.
5. Students can turn in their reading sheets as often as they wish. Please make sure students have read the books before signing the sheets.
6. Students may include all books read at home since the first day of this school year.

Remember: The goals are for everyone to get excited about reading at home, to earn as much as 1,000 points, and to receive recognition for this outstanding achievement! However, to participate in this program students will need to earn a minimum of 176 points by the end of the school year! Students that participate in this program will automatically qualify for the Annual 7 Week School-wide Read-a-thon in March.

So everyone let's get started - READ!!

Sincerely,
Sheila Y. Carter
