All Aboard Dove's Reading Adventure!
We are thrilled to announce Dove’s Reading Voyage challenge, which will commence on February 4 and conclude on May 2. 📚⚓️ Participants will have the opportunity to engage in reading while tracking their progress. After completing the first 100 minutes, they will turn in the slip at the bottom of page 1 to Mrs. Young. This will earn them a bookmark and their name on the window. There are 5 levels with each level requiring 300 minutes of reading. At the end of each level, they will turn in their form for a prize and the next form. They can count minutes read or read to! We encourage everyone to join us in promoting literacy and a love for reading! The first sheet will be sent home February 4th. After that, they will get a new one from Mrs. Young upon turning in the one they have!
