Book-It

I am so proud of all my friends who read 20 books last month and earned their FREE PIZZA from Pizza Hut!  I sent home a new recording sheet for December.  It is SO important that your kiddo reads at home with you.  Remember, you can read the paper books I sent home.  These books are on your child’s reading level. When they finish the books, send them back and I will send home more.   Also, they can access eBooks from the Raz Kids website.
