Attention All Readers!

We want to salute the 53 outstanding students at Macon (Missouri) Elementary who celebrated their reading success with a party.

Meanwhile, in Santa Maria, California, students at Pacific Christian School are on track to reach their goal of 40 million words read by the end of the school year. Good luck and keep reading!

Again and again, we read stories about the impact Scholastic Reading Counts! has on reading and comprehension. Teachers, librarians, parents, and students agree that it's a simple yet powerful tool to encourage literacy development.

How do you support your students' reading achievement and create a reading community? By providing a choice of over 55,000 titles, including over 17,000 non-fiction books, and hundreds of popular series, Scholastic Reading Counts! promotes reading for fun and reading to learn.

And we have it on good authority that it grows brain power!

Practice makes perfect, and reading is no exception. Let us know how your students are gaining reading fluency and recognizing their academic achievement with Scholastic Reading Counts! Send your stories to
SRC!'s Community Site!

Wishing you a great 2013!
