Why Central's Families Read...
Starting in kindergarten, if a student reads 20 minutes a day at home, they will hear 1.8 million words per year. They will have read for 851 hours by 6th grade and on standardized tests, they will likely score better than 90% of their peers.
This is compelling data on the benefits of encouraging your child to read.Get reading Central! It's the Panther Way!
Here's a great Read Aloud: Students can take AR test at school!
Look Who Made the CENTRAL HALL of FAME! #GOPANTHERS
