Read Across Alaska: IditaRead is a reading project that challenges students to read during the Iditarod dog sledding race which begins next Saturday, March 4 this year. Number of pages, number of books, number of minutes read, or even number of books or pages a child is read to, are recorded during the reading race. These minutes can include minutes read at home or at school. You can also have students work together in teams to reach the goal.
The following resources have been updated to include the southern route. Please know that checkpoints and mileage may change before and during the race. The reading challenge dates are March 3 - March 17 on the Google Docs. You can make a digital copy of the Google Docs and customize for your classroom as needed. (Hover over and click on the link).
