The Stillmeadow Reading Olympics begins today and concludes on Wednesday, February 28.
The Reading Olympics – which is taking place in conjunction with Literacy Week – is an opportunity for you to support reading at home, which research shows improves academic outcomes. The goal is to have every student complete an at-home reading challenge during the Reading Olympics.
Reading Olympics information was sent home in student folders last week. Here’s what you need to do to help your child be a Reading Olympics Champion:
- Plan for and attain an Olympic Reading Goal using the challenge sheet and reading log available here.
- Return the completed reading log to school on Thursday, March 1.
- Consider sponsoring your child’s classroom with a donation that will help us provide continued literacy enrichment activities for your child and their classmates. Complete and return this sponsorship form to school by Thursday, March 1.
Students who complete a reading challenge will earn a Reading Olympics medal. All children who participate will have their name displayed on a Reading Olympics Bulletin Board at Stillmeadow. The classroom in each grade with the most participation will have honorable mention on the Reading Olympics bulletin board.
Good luck and happy reading!
