Thursday, November 21 is Family Reading Night sponsored by the Illinois Secretary of State, State Librarian, and Illinois State Library. Family Reading Night is sponsored in cooperation with iREAD, an initiative of the Illinois Library Association, and Illinois Reads, a project of the Illinois Reading Council. This is an event that you can take part in from the comfort of your own home. Just sit back and read with your student!
A flyer discussing what Family Reading Night is all about will be coming home with pre-k through 5th grade students. At the bottom of the flyer will be a portion for the student to fill out and turn back in. Mrs. Goodrum will then hold a drawing and some lucky student will receive a $10 gift certificate to The Scoop! Happy Reading!
