Reading Is Fundamental

Our first R.I.F. (Reading Is Fundamental) book distribution will be held in the auditorium on Thursday, December 18th. All students in Kindergarten, 1^st, and 2^nd grades will receive a free book! Learn more about our R.I.F. program.

Volunteers! We especially need help with our Books & Beyond program. Please contact Terri Knight.

Books & Beyond Begins!

We have links to the program guidelines and .pdf versions of the reading logs (K-3 and 4-5) which we'll use to record our titles and pages. Students: Turn in your reading logs to earn prizes from our treasure chest and watch your rocket zoom through the solar system on our school-wide chart, "Let Reading Take You Out of This World."

Please remember, all students in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades must read, or have read to them, 10 books per reading sheet. Adults must write in the books titles for our younger readers on the reading log. Students in 4th and 5th grade must read 250 pages per reading log.

See the 2008 Rules & Examples.

Adult/guardians: please remember to sign the reading sheets. Teachers, too! Learn more»
