Kids Read Now encourages holding a teacher training to inform your teachers of the program. We have found this the most effective way to educate teachers about the program or program updates.

During teacher training, we encourage you to distribute program materials such as Wish Lists and posters. Inform your teachers that they must help their students select their 8 books and send home the Guardian Contact Form. The Guardian Contact Form is not required for a student to participate. Finally, be sure to set a date and inform your teachers of the deadline to return forms to their Building or District Coordinator or a deadline to complete the online selection process.

Each summer, students take a three-month break from school. Those who don’t read over the summer lose two to three months of reading ability, leaving them over a year behind by the time they reach fourth grade. -Of those not reading at grade level by fourth grade: -1 in 10 will go to jail -Only 1 in 27 will graduate from college -86% will never earn more than minimum wage By providing choices, challenges, and rewards throughout the program, we keep kids reading over the summer and prevent the summer reading slide.

From kindergarten through third grade, children learn to read; after third grade, they read to learn. By fourth grade, students need to use their reading skills to succeed in other subjects, and if they haven’t mastered reading by then, they may keep falling behind. -Of those not reading at grade level by fourth grade: -1 in 10 will go to jail -Only 1 in 27 will graduate from college -86% will never earn more than minimum wage
