Time to Level Up Your Reading Game!

Pasco County Schools' 4th Annual District-Wide Reading Initiative

Welcome back! As we begin the 26-27 school year, we have retired R.A.C.E. to Read and are thrilled to launch, Level Up Your Reading Game: One District, One Goal!

🎮 This year, we're inviting every student to level up.  We challenge students to read for at least 20 minutes every day, log their reading in Beanstack, and help our district reach an incredible goal of 20 million minutes by May 14!

🎯 One District. One Goal. Millions of Minutes

Students can earn reading "levels" throughout the year while helping their school contribute to our district-wide success. Together, we can build strong reading habits, grow literacy skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

🏆 Exciting Incentives All Year Long

We'll be celebrating literacy with recognition, rewards, and some friendly competition!

⭐ Quarterly School Recognition: Schools that go above and beyond in promoting reading will be recognized each quarter. Thanks to our partnership with Beanstack, the top-performing elementary, middle, and high school will earn a special traveling trophy to proudly display until the next quarter's winners are announced.

🎁 Random Prize Drawings: Students who read and log their minutes will have opportunities to win exciting surprise prizes throughout the year. Every minute counts, and every reader has a chance to be rewarded!

📖 Help Us Create a Strong Reading Culture

Parents, your support makes a difference. Encourage students to read daily, track their progress in Beanstack, and celebrate every milestone as they level up their reading skills.

Together, let's make this our biggest reading year yet!

Here's to a year filled with great books, new adventures, growing readers, and leveling up literacy across Pasco County Schools!
