Pick a Reading Partner (PARP)
FebRUARY 29-March 31
The PARP program brings parents or any special person in a child's life together to help foster a love for reading.. Our theme for this year is "Leap Into Reading!" We're kicking off the program on Thursday, February 29 (Leap Day!), and it will run until Sunday, March 31, 2024.
PARP is all about having fun reading together with a partner. Let's chat about our favorite authors, characters, and how we pick books together. Activities like playing games like Mad Libs or Scrabble and discovering new things online. The goal? Making reading an adventure! Kids, grab a partner and let's read together for 21 days during PARP (February 29 - March 31). Jot down your reading activity and who you read with on your PARP Reading Log. If you complete 21 days of reading, you get to pick a book from our special PARP prize collection! Just tell us which one on your PARP Reading Log. Once you've filled in your PARP Reading Log, get it signed by a grown-up and send it back to school. Or if you prefer, submit it online with a photo by April 12 using this link: https://bit.ly/OktePARPLog2024 C'mon families, let's jump into reading together with a partner! |
