The 2013 NSSD 112 read-a-thon (iRead) is here!  In lieu of our usual monthly reading calendar for homework, we will be using the iRead recording form to document our reading between now and the end of the contest  (so that you don't have to record what you read twice on two different documents).  An informational note was sent home earlier this week with complete details for this event as well as the recording sheet.

Join other students and some Indian Trail teachers to READ, READ, READ!

Come before school, during lunch recess or stay late on the scheduled dates and times to read and record minutes for the iRead for 112 Foundation program.  Earn up to 465 minutes for your 112 Foundation iRead reading log!



Students must:
1. Bring books with them to read for the entire time 
they are participating in the iTune into Reading session. 
2. NOT disrupt the reading atmosphere or they will be asked to leave. 
3. Read the entire time 
4. Write down the minutes on their official iRead form so the host teacher can initial the 
entry. This is a critical part to the program.

Students may be dropped off at the front door at Indian Trail for morning iTune into Reading. 
They will be directed to that day’s location. Students who attend the after school sessions must 
be picked up at 4:30 in the carpool line. There is no extracurricular bus for this voluntary 
reading program. 

Students do not need to sign up, you just need to show up and READ, READ, READ.
Every time a student attends a session to read and record a time, the student will be given a 
popcorn coupon that can be redeemed at school during designated popcorn times.
