GRIZZLY READER CLUB

 

Welcome to the Lake Youngs Grizzly Reader Program for 2023-24! We are a PTSA-sponsored, non-revenue seeking program. We work hand-in-hand with staff and teachers to (1) encourage a love of reading, (2) help students develop the habit of tracking their progress toward goal completion, and (3) promote students' critical thinking and analytical skills. Our goal is to log 2 million minutes of reading this school year!

 

We Need Volunteers

Every other Thursday, we hand out prizes to all the classrooms. Please click the link below to help out!

Sign Up Here!


The Grizzly Reader program is open to all students who wish to participate. It is an incentive-based program with 7 levels (A-G) of fun individual prizes as well as classroom-wide awards to earn, thanks to the generosity of the PTSA as well as local organizations.


Prizes at each level:

  1. Bookmark
  2. Treat Bag
  3. Treasure Chest Item
  4. Book
  5. Surprise
  6. School Logo Prize
  7. Invitation to End of Year Pizza Party


If your child would like to participate, here is some important information:

  • Only submit those reading minutes done outside the classroom, in-class reading does not apply. (Before/after school & lunch recess is ok.) (Listening to stories/audiobooks is ok.)
  • For every 200 minutes read and recorded, a parent signature and completion date is required.
  • Signed, dated slips are collected every Friday by a GR volunteer. First collection of reading slips will take place September 22, 2023.
  • Prizes are handed out every other Friday, beginning September 29th during lunch. Final collection of slips will occur on May 17, 2024.
  • Please note that excessive amounts of slips turned in all at once will be viewed as unreasonable and may not be fully recognized unless communicated beforehand (a limited number of prize levels will be awarded during each award cycle).


The Grizzly Reader program has become a cherished tradition at Lake Youngs with an impressive student participation rate. Students who complete their levels will be invited to the end of year Grizzly Reader Pizza Party! Grizzly Reader Clubs We thank you for supporting your child's love of reading, taking the time to sign and date their slips, and perhaps taking a moment to chat with them about what they're reading!
