BOOK IT October-March

Dear, Parents!

Did you know reading is the ultimate super power!  And with the help of the BOOK IT! Program, our class will be honing super reading skills over the next six months (Oct 1-March 31).

The mission of the BOOK IT! Program is to encourage more reading outside of the classroom.  The program is easy and fun!  Your child has the opportunity to earn Reading Award Certificates by meeting our daily reading goal of 20 minutes a day.   A SHEET will come home at the start of each month with a calendar.  Simply color in the picture for every 20 minutes you read at home each day of the month. (If you miss a day, try to double up on another day to catch up!) The Reading Award Certificates can be redeemed at Pizza Hut where your child will receive a BOOK IT award and a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza. 

GUESS WHAT!  You are already doing some of this! Your Guided Reading minutes/books may count towards your 20 minutes!

DID YOU KNOW? A child spends 900 hours in school a year.  A child spends 7800 hours OUTSIDE of school a year.  Which teacher has the BIGGER influence?
