Radiant Readers

How to Participate:

1. CHOOSE A BOOKLIST.  There are two booklists of carefully curated books — CUBS (Grades K-2)  and TIGERS (Grades 3-5). Each booklist consists of 30 books as well as choice options. Books range from classics to more current titles as well as Otter & Sasquatch Award nominees. 

2. READ 15 BOOKS BY APRIL 16th. Read independently or with friends & family. Listening to audio books or having someone read to you, (including teacher read Alouds) also counts! Track reading progress with a parent or teacher signature on your booklist.

3. Celebrate!
All students will be included in a school day celebration during the second week of May!

K-2 students who read 15 books from the Cubs list by April 16th will receive an award.

Grades 3-5 students who read 15 books from the Tigers list will be invited to our after-school Rad Reader’s celebration in May!
