As a parent and community member, I want to encourage children to read.  Reach For The Stars!! is a reading incentive program where the goal is to motivate our children to read, keep them reading, and then reward them with books that grab their attention.

<strong>The children will benefit by reading and then receiving the books that are given to them!</strong>

<strong>Your school/group will benefit by receiving your choice of CASH and FREE BOOKS!</strong>

Children will be rewarded with free books for participating in the program.  Participation includes the following:
<ul>
	<li>Collecting pledges from friends, neighbors and relatives that will "sponsor" their reading activity.</li>
	<li>Reading (or being read to) and then logging the minutes.</li>
	<li>Turning in pledge money and reading log to their teacher.</li>
	<li>Selecting the books that will be given to them.</li>
</ul>
Supplies will be furnished to the school, including original forms to copy and an Usborne Books &amp; More catalog with over 1,200 titles to choose from.  We can adjust the program to fit your needs - there is no lengthy record keeping involved, and the forms are easy to read and use.

No student-to-student competition... everyone is a winner!
