     R.E.A.D. in Paradise (Read. Enjoy. Achieve. Dream)

R.E.A.D in Paradise:
encouraging students to become life-long readers / learners

readingOne of our goals as a district is to help motivate students to become life-long readers.  A vast body of research supports the idea that life-long readers are life-long learners.  This has been the goal behind the R.E.A.D. in Paradise Reading since its inception.

In order to promote and enhance the summer reading experience, these four school media centers will be open (during days/times listed below) to all PVUSD students and their families: Aire Libre, Eagle Ridge, Indian Bend and Palomino II.

Dates:

Mondays: June 2, June 9, June 16 and June 23

Hours: 8 to 11 a.m.

Please call the curriculum department at 602-867-5242 with any questions.

This summer, we are excited to partner with Phoenix and Scottsdale Public Libraries and Barnes and Noble Book Seller to enhance R.E.A.D. in Paradise. By participating in the public library program, “Read Your Way to the Ballpark”, students can earn a free ticket to a Diamondback game. If students read eight books and record the titles on a form available at any Barnes and Noble, they can earn a free book.  Students can also record their summer reading titles on the R.E.A.D. in Paradise brochure and return it to their school in August for special recognition.

By offering our PVUSD families summer access to five of our school libraries, partnering with community reading programs and offering incentives at each school site, we hope to enhance the reading experience of your entire family this summer. 

— Dr. John A. Kriekard, superintendent
