Arkansas Reads One Book

Beginning Monday, March 4th, elementary students across Arkansas will be reading the same book! Each student will receive a copy of Judy Moody Was in a Mood by Megan McDonald as well as a parent letter and reading schedule. Those will be coming home today. Each evening, they’ll read a chapter, or chapters, with their families—the same chapter that other elementary students across the state will be reading with their families.

“Our reading schedule will take about 15 minutes each night,” says Read to Them Executive Director, Christa Donohue, “putting the entire community literally on the same page. Their reading will be augmented with classroom activities, trivia contests, prizes and opportunities for family engagement.”

Arkansas Reads One Book kicks off on March 4, 2024 and will run through Thursday, March 14th. Thousands of students in hundreds of schools have joined together to celebrate family literacy through Read to Them’s state-wide reading programs.

If you’d like to come read to your child’s class, please contact your student’s teacher to arrange a day and time. We’d love to have you! If you have not visited our school before, a state-issued ID will be required for school entrance.

Students in Mrs. Cotton's GT classes went to the Pocket Theatre in Hot Springs to watch a youth production play of "Anne Frank and Me". This was a great experience for the students to see a live play related to content being learned at school.
