READ-A-THON!
MARCH 30 - APRIL 10

Let's keep kids reading with our fun Read-a-Thon! Students log/track their reading time March 30 - April 10th.
Register online at www.read-a-thon.com/readers
Check your email for your child's individual online sign up code (sent via FreshSchools)
At home rewards are encouraged! Sibling or classmate challenge, perhaps?

Donations are appreciated, but not required. With the cancellation of the Spring DDA Fundraiser, Proctor Terrace would benefit from any fundraising efforts you are comfortable with during these uncertain times, but our priority is to encourage the kids to READ and continue to feel connected to classmates and our incredible Proctor community.

But the Library is closed! Never fear, we have suggestions! Audio books, eBooks, grandma reading a story virtually, read aloud (Vooks, Epic) - they all count! Put books aside to trade with a classmate (put in a paper bag or cardboard box now and have them pick up next week to minimize contamination), newspapers, magazines!

Sonoma County Library eResources (audio books, eBooks)
Audible (audiobooks) - free right now! Listen to a book as a family!
National Geographic Kids books and magazines
Storyline Online: FREE videos featuring celebrated actors reading children’s books alongside creatively produced illustrations
Vooks (read-aloud animated storybooks + lesson plans) One month free!
Josh Gad (voice of Frozen's Olaf) and many children's book authors are reading stories online daily
Family and friend virtual read aloud (skype, zoom, facetime, etc). Get classmates to read to one another and it's DOUBLE the minutes!
