End of the Road

The Read to the Final Four contest ends at 11:59 pm local time tonight! 
Be sure to check our website -- ReadtotheFinalFour.com – for final results!

As exciting as this contest has been, from Tip-Off until today, it’s part of a larger effort to help every third grader become a star reader.

In order to help kids continue to build their stamina and skills – along with a true love of reading – we hope they and their teachers will continue using myON the rest of the school year and all summer long. Their accounts will remain active until August 31 to be sure kids don’t miss a day of reading practice!   

Our Teacher Locker Room and Family Zone resource web pages will continue to be available until August 31, as well, with regular updates and tips to keep kids engaged.

We will always be your biggest fans as you coach students to their personal best in reading and learning!

Please join us in congratulating your team – and all third grade teams that are participating in this exciting literacy program!
