Books and Beyond is a yearlong recreational reading program which aims to motivate children to read for fun and help families learn to moderate their screen time by focusing on the value of reading time. It is fun for students to compete against themselves and others to see who makes it to all the monthly goals.
Students log their reading on a record sheet, which is reviewed and approved by our principal.
