Six Flags Reading Logs
One week left to earn your FREE Six Flags ticket with Read to Succeed!
Read to Succeed is a free educational program sponsored by Six Flags Theme Parks. The program encourages students in grades K through 6 to engage in recreational reading. Students who complete six hours of recreational reading are eligible to earn a free admission ticket to a participating Six Flags Theme Park. So, get those books out from the book fair, the book store, stop by the library, or turn on your Kindle to download a book from FISD OverDrive. Whatever sparks their interest, let’s get these kids reading! If you need a reading log, download a new one, today!
