We're excited to announce a fun and rewarding reading challenge for your K-6 students! SESC has partnered with PBS Kids/PBS Utah to provide a reading challenge for our districts and charters during November! WAHOO!
We need your help getting the word out to our region's classrooms and students! It's easy: Just forward this email to your K-6 teachers!
How it works:
Read: Encourage your students to read 20 minutes a day for 30 days, totaling 600 minutes. Students can read physical or digital books, and reading more than 600 minutes is allowed! Students can read extra the next day to make up the minutes if a day is missed. The goal is 600 or more for the month.
Track: Use the provided reading trackers to monitor progress (or make one of your own). Trackers can be found HERE.
Celebrate: The top-reading classroom in each district/charter will win a pizza party courtesy of PBS Utah and SESC!
Additional Incentives:
Utah Fun Pass: Students who read over 600 minutes can earn a FREE Utah Fun Pass for FREE and discounted admission to popular Utah attractions.
Promotional Materials: To engage students and parents, utilize the resources provided by our media specialist, Sara Bryant. You can access them HERE.
Next Steps:
Share: Distribute the challenge information and promotional materials to your K-6 teachers, students, and families.
Track: Have teachers collect and track student reading minutes.
Report: In December, we will ask teachers to submit a simple form with their class's total reading minutes.
