JCSD Reading Initiative: Let's Read Jeff CO!

The purpose of this reading initiative title "Let's Read Jeff Co!" The purpose of this initiative is to promote early literacy and independent reading.


Reading is one of the most important skills that a person can have. Studies show that students who read frequently tend to have higher vocabulary skills, increased success with spelling, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.


Therefore, we encourage every child to read for 20 minutes a day. Parents and community stakeholders, please help us promote reading- Let's Read Jeff Co!
