March Is Reading Month: Peace, Love and Books

We are sure that you will agree that reading is important EVERY month! Since March is National Reading Month, Haigh Elementary will be placing special emphasis on activities that promote reading as a fun and enjoyable experience. Our theme is: “Peace, Love and Books!”  See the special calendar on the back of this letter for some wonderful reading activities.

Every grade level has a minimum reading goal, which will be measured in minutes read per day at home (even during Spring Break) .  See below for suggested reading times for each day:

K-1st Grade: 20 minutes per day

2nd -3rd Grade: at least 25-30 minutes per day

4th -5th Grade: at least 30-35 minutes per day

Your child will also have a Reading Log calendar to keep track of their minutes. Each child who returns their reading log by Tuesday, April 5th will earn a special prize if they have reached their recommended reading goal for March.
