CCS Winter Reading Challenge

COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS WINTER READING CHALLENGE FOR K-8 STUDENTS

The District is partnering with Scholastic to reward students and top schools who read the most books over winter break.

From December 20 through January 2, elementary and middle school students are invited to log into their Clever dashboards and LiteracyPro to access any one of the thousands of e-books waiting for them. Students who log the most time reading books over the winter break challenge will win prizes from Scholastic, as well as earn prizes for their school. In addition to a personalized digital bookshelf, LiteracyPro also gives students access to online activities to enhance their reading experience and get a deeper understanding of their favorite books.
