Page by page, students at Winthrop Avenue School are fostering a love of reading as they pursue high literary aspirations – part of this year’s Wildly Important Goals.
Each year, Winthrop’s Winning Star Leaders set an educational goal for themselves to independently progress towards. Through the Wildly Important Goal of reading, students will be inspired to dive into a plethora of literary tales as they embark on fun and engaging tasks. Starting in September, for example, students will “Drop Everything and Read” for 10 minutes each day. Soon after, Winning Star Leaders will see pairs of teachers exchange giftwrapped books, showing students that reading is a gift. Additionally, third graders will partner with fourth graders to buddy up and read together at least twice a week, and students will swap books they have read for new books from friends. Throughout the event, students will keep track of their overall reading progress. With more events to come, this year’s Wildly Important Goals will foster an environment where children feel excited and happy to read.
