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 audiobooks 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!

Help from Mr. Heimfeld
Our fantastic Carnation Elementary librarian is RAD! He has created a Radiant Reader book cart in the library with titles from both lists!
Also, as students check off titles, they get to put their names up on the bulletin board in the hallway! Encourage your student to tell Mr. Heimfeld when they’ve read 1+, 3+, 5+, 10+, 15+ and he will get them stickers to add their names to. Thank you, Mr. Heimfeld!
Help from KCLS- Carnation Branch
