Why Read?

Just as exercise builds stronger muscles, reading builds a stronger brain. When you read, you discover new and different ways of living, thinking, and behaving.

Reading helps each of us better understand our world and the people in it. Reading can take you to amazing places and help you find out about anything you want to learn. Regular reading is just the smart thing to do.

What To Read

Choose a book from your grade level list OR select a fiction book or a biography based on your interests and reading level. After reading, complete the required reading log.  Reading logs are due by 9/18/2009.

Tips For Success

  • Pick a certain time (preferably each day) that is dedicated to reading.
  • Occasionally, read as a family and talk about what you read.
  • Subscribe to magazines. Some great ones are Kids Discover, National Geographic World, and Time for Kids.
  • Visit your public library or local book store regularly.
