Reading is the key to success!
We encourage students to continue to read over the holiday break. This will help students maintain the growth they have achieved so far this year.
-This equates to 3,600 minutes per school year
-Read approximately 1,800,000 words per year
-Scores in the 90th percentile on standardized tests
The best way to become a better reader is to read!!
Dine-Out Night!
