Eager Reader is a PTA sponsored program that rewards and reinforces reading! It is a 25 week voluntary program designed to improve students’ reading skills and to develop a love of reading. Since we require a 20 minutes of reading each night and this program offers incentives and reinforcement for that reading.

Here is how the program works:
• The program began October 1 – your child can keep track of their minutes in their planner
• At the end of the month, you will need to submit the total amount of minutes they read for the month. You can submit the minutes as often as you want. Submit minutes here: http://www.sunsetsockeyepta.org/eagerreader/recorder/ (you will need to re-register even if you registered last year)
• Each month, students will receive a prize based on the total minutes read
• All prizes will be given to the teacher and put in the student’s mailbox to take home
• Students who earn books will be allowed to pick out their book during lunch on the assigned book award days.
• Minutes read are accumulated throughout the year so prizes can always be earned
• Make sure to turn in the tally on each due date - even if your student has not read enough to earn the listed prize, they will just add to them for next month
• If students read enough minutes, they will be invited to the Eager Reader party in the spring.
