READING CLUB FOR GROUPS

Finally, be sure to sign up for our Group Reading Club!  We will supply you with reading logs for each child in your program, and each day that they read independently or are read to, they get to color in a block.  After 30 days of reading are completed, each child in your group will receive a certificate and a coupon for a free Frosty at Wendy’s.
