We would add...and one volunteer!

Thanks to your hard work, our readers this week increased to 187,261 – with 35,953 at frequency* and over 108 million pages read!

Pages read increased by 75% over last year for school readers.

Thank you for all your hard work that makes our learners’ successes possible!

*at frequency = students are reading books multiple times during the school year, with a general target of thirty times (more for lower grades, less for upper grades).  Our data shows that most of these students read for at least 20 minutes each time.
