Registration Open for Reading Rocktober

Announcing Reading Rocktober! Registration now open!

School’s back in session and there’s no better time to rock out with your favorite book! Our friend, Read-it, has been reading across Minnesota all summer, and now you can join him in a NEW reading adventure!

Reading Rocktober is an exciting new program where learners of all ages can receive prizes just for doing what they already love, READING! It’s simple: By setting reading goals and meeting them, students become eligible to receive rewards from participating sponsors.

By instilling a love of reading at a young age, students will develop a greater appreciation for reading that will continue their whole lives. Even more important, improved literacy and reading skills can help a student improve in other subjects as well.

Educators, sign up your students and encourage them to:

•Read for fun

•Read more often

•Improve their reading skills and overcome reading obstacles

Join Read-It, grab a book and Rock on!

This program is offered in collaboration with Clear Channel Media and Entertainment and community sponsors.
