Let us know if you have any questions.

Please encourage your child to read every night! Record books, or chapters, on the Star Readers log. When your child returns their log, they will receive a Pizza Hut Bookit coupon for that month. Ask them to tell you about what they’ve been reading, to check for understanding as well.
