GCISD Reads 2017 Level Up!
What's different this year?
GCISD realizes the importance of student voice and choice. For 2017-2018, choose your own challenge (or challenges) that is right for you! There are 3 challenges that you can choose from. Students can choose to complete 1 of the 3 challenges below to meet the requirements for GCISD Reads. GCISD Reads challenges must be completed first. If you finish one challenge and want to challenge yourself even more, choose another challenge to complete. This can be either another GCISD Reads Challenge or a Glenhope Challenge.
