Teachers report students read 35,541 pages during district reading initiative
Summary
District staff reported a year-long reading initiative across preschool and elementary grades reached a combined total of 35,541 pages read, supported by themed activities and volunteer involvement.
At the Washtucna School District meeting, a presenter (S5) described an early-learning reading initiative themed around England and reported participation statistics across grade bands totaling 35,541 pages read.
S5 said preschoolers read with adults, first graders were read to or read themselves depending on grade, and gave a breakdown by grade groups: "the 2nd and 3rd graders read 7,480 pages, and the 4th and 5th graders read 5,686 pages," with preschool and other grades making up the balance. S5 described related activities — a tea party, actor visits and t-shirt rewards — and thanked parents and volunteers for support.
The report was informational and no board action was taken; the presentation aimed to highlight literacy engagement and celebrate student participation.
