There are many ways at Randall to get rewarded for your love of reading!
We are participating in the Six Flags Read to Succeed Program. All you have to do is log 360 minutes (or 6 hours) of recreational reading, and bring the reading log back to school and turn it in to your teacher!
The deadline to turn this in is at the end of February! So hop to it! and dig into some great books!!!!!

How old is too old to read to my child?
The answer is..........
Many often think that reading aloud to a child should stop after kindergarten. But the truth is, you should continue to read books to your children through junior high. Research has strongly shown that children who are read aloud to throughout their growing years are more likely to develop background knowledge in all kinds of topics, as well as exposure to sophisticated language (Rich, M. 2015). What a wonderful way to bond with your children. Many students in the study reported they loved this bonding time with the parents!
Children should be offered independent book reading time, with books they have selected, as well as having a grown-up read aloud to them. This should be occurring at home, as well as at school.
It is predicted that 1 in 4 American children grow up without learning how to read! So let's help fight that and continue to read with our kids and to our kids!!! Happy Reading!!!
