Read-a-thon assembly

Last Friday we completed our Read-a-thon with a building wide reading.  Every person in the gym, had a book in hand and shared this in our community love for reading.  Westwoods read 2000 minutes last week as a school.  How may minutes will your child read over the summer?  Set a goal, then break it down into small daily goals.  Can your child read 1,100 minutes before September 1st?  If they read 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week that is 100 minutes a week.  There are roughly 12 weeks of summer, with room for non reading days and other events, your child could easily meet this goal.  Find a calendar and have fun tracking their reading minutes.
