Reading Stars: School-wide reading incentive program


Remember those paper reading log calendars that kept getting lost and forgotten until the end of the month? May Watts is now part of the digital age! Our new online reading log is called Reading Stars, and it is available at  CLICK HERE:  maywattsreads.com
Monthly reading goals are: KG        - 300 minutes
                                            Grade 1 - 300  
                                            Grade 2 - 300
                                            Grade 3 - 360
                                            Grade 4 - 400
                                            Grade 5 - 400
Since most classes have nightly reading expectations anyway, this should be a snap!

To log in, your student needs their student ID number. (This was on the LMC brochure sent home at Curriculum Night. If you don't have that, your child's teacher can supply it.) The password is their class (i.e. 3A).

Each month, there will be a reward for reaching the required number of minutes for your child's grade level. These minutes can be fulfilled by home independent reading or being read to by an adult. The reward for the October, November, and December will be coupons for a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

You can access the site by typing in maywattsreads.com or go in throught the May Watts website/LMC/Reading Log.
