Exceed Your Reading Goals with Our READ 100,000 Program
 It may sound like a big goal, but every time you host a Scholastic Book Fair, student reading minutes start to add up: 500 students x 30 minutes of reading
x 7 days = 105,000 minutes! And now with our READ 100,000 program, you can motivate your students to keep reading long after the last Book Fair case has been wheeled away.
| • |
Students simply log and track minutes they read on our easy-to-use READ 100,000 website. |
| • |
Teachers can download and print reproducible reading logs, flyers and more. |
| • |
Students can track their reading minutes from now until April 30, 2011. |
Before you know it, your school's reading minutes will not only reach the 100,000 mark, they'll zoom
right past it.

Kids Say They Would Spend More Time Reading If They Had Greater Access to Books
 Nine out of 10 children say that they are more likely to finish a book they choose themselves, according to the 2010
Kids & Family Reading Report, an annual survey of
children and their parents conducted by Scholastic and
the Harrison Group.
Among the key findings:
| • |
71 percent of parents wish their child would read more books for fun. Seventy-five percent of children (ages 9-17) say they know they should read more. |
| • |
The most critical motivator to get kids reading is the power of choice.
Nine out of ten children say they are more likely to finish a book they choose themselves. |
| • |
Eight in ten kids feel proud and have a sense of accomplishment when they finish reading a book. |
The survey results also clearly indicate that kids would spend more time reading if they had greater access to books. You can read or download a copy of the complete report online at 2010 Kids & Family Reading Report.
