This Week Is National Read Across America Week!

Warriors, get your favorite book ready! National Read Across America Week is coming to Horizon Elementary School from March 3rd to 7th, 2025. This week, we celebrate the benefits of reading and all of the places it can take us! This week Horizon Elementary students have the option to participate in our "Read Across America Wild Robot Style" dress up days! Please Click Here for more info! Check out some fun reading tips to help you get into your new book:

  • Find a cozy spot: Make reading time special by finding a comfy place to read, like your bed, a beanbag chair, or even under a tree!

  • Read with a friend or family member: Reading together can be extra fun. You can take turns reading pages or even act out the story!

  • Explore different kinds of books: Don't just stick to one type of book. Try comics, picture books, chapter books, or even non-fiction books about animals or space!

  • Make it a routine: Try to read a little bit every day, even if it's just for 15 minutes. The more you read, the better you'll get at it, and the more fun it will be!

Reading is an adventure, and Read Across America Week is the perfect time to jump in! Let's make this Read Across America Week the best one yet, Warriors!
