Reading Counts is a self paced reading program where you can earn points and tickets to buy fun prizes at the library store! All you need to do is read a book published by Scholastic and pass a 10 question quiz in the library. You must pass with at least 8/10. Tickets are compiled every Thursday and can be spent right away or saved up to buy bigger prizes! Once a student reaches 200 points, they will receive an official GLSD Reading Counts medal! Books read must be at or above student lexile OR must be teacher approved.
