Winter Reading Challenge
Are you looking for ways to support your child's reading over the holiday break? Look no further than the library's winter reading challenge! This activity offers the most important thing children need to build a love of reading - choice! Students in K-5 are invited to play over the break and email their board to Ms. Teena or Ms. Babs when we return to school in January. All students who participate will be recognized.
Take a look at the ES/MS LibGuide to find details and login information for our digital libraries.
Please find below our Winter Reading Challenge and enjoy reading with your child(ren) over the break! Please email Ms. Babs at bbarbara@aischennai.org if you have any questions.
