Scholastic Reading Counts! eNews
February 2008
Dear Scholastic Reading Counts! Educator:

February is the heart of the school year—the holiday excitement has settled and spring fever is weeks away! The work-a-day world of the student delivers steady progress and achievement.

February is the month for dedication. It’s a great time to foster greater reading independence. Help us understand what your students love to read by responding to our monthly survey. And, if you want to reward those students who have demonstrated responsibility and dedication, we have a special incentive offer.

We thank you for your continued commitment to reading achievement.

Sincerely,
Your Scholastic Reading Counts! team

P.S. Adairsville Middle School has provided us with more information on their outstanding reading gains. Please look at our Success Story, as it is a wonderful example of teacher dedication.
