Superintendent's Reading Challenge

Rise with Reading is a districtwide literacy challenge designed to motivate and celebrate reading among our 48,000 K-12 students. Spearheaded by Superintendent Jones, the program sets a quarterly goal of reading 1,000 pages per student quarterly, encouraging daily reading habits, improving literacy, and building a shared culture of learning. Through achievable goals, recognition, and engaging resources, we aim to build a community of readers and celebrate the joy of learning.

Participating in the Rise with Reading challenge offers numerous benefits for students:

• Increased Reading Fluency: Reading more pages improves reading speed and comprehension.

• Expanded Vocabulary: Exposure to a wider range of texts leads to a richer vocabulary.
• Enhanced Comprehension Skills: Reading a variety of materials improves understanding and critical thinking.
• Motivation and Engagement: The challenge provides a sense of accomplishment and encourage students to enjoy reading.
• Stronger Reading Skills: Reading regularly helps students develop a foundation for future academic success.
