Reading extension programs can enhance students’ literacy skills and foster a love for reading. Our AR Reading Extension program has been designed to elevate these skills, foster a lifelong love for reading, and empower students to reach their full potential. The program is tailored to meet the unique needs of each scholar and goes beyond the conventional classroom setting, providing enriching and engaging reading experiences that ignite curiosity and enhance comprehension. From captivating books to interactive activities, we’ve created a nurturing environment where learning is both fun and impactful.

As of October, REACH scholars have read 1,116 books and 4,173,658 words for 18 minutes a day! That is amazing! There are so many exciting tools you can use right from your home as well. By clicking on this Accelerated Reader Bookfinder link,  your scholar can find books within their interest and reading level to continue their reading journey right from home.

The power of literacy is evident far beyond a classroom's walls. Through innovative approaches, personalized support, and many engaging reading materials, we have seen our scholars flourish, embracing the joy of reading. The heightened curiosity, improved comprehension skills, and newfound confidence speak volumes about the program’s transformative impact.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated educators, passionate volunteers, and supportive parents who have played a pivotal role in ensuring the scholars’ success with this program. As we celebrate the achievements and progress made thus far, let us also look forward with excitement to the chapters yet to be written. The learning journey never truly ends, and with programs like these, we are laying a strong foundation for a lifetime of discovery, growth, and a love for reading. Here’s to the stories yet to be told and the lives yet to be transformed. Happy reading, and onward to the next adventure in literacy!
