We are celebrating some incredible readers at Kingwood Elementary School!
These students have read and logged 40 books in Beanstack so far this school year — and several students pictured have gone above and beyond by reading 100 books or more!
Reaching 40 books is an impressive goal that takes commitment, consistency, and a true love of reading. Hitting 100 books? That’s extraordinary dedication! We could not be more proud of their hard work.
Reading is the foundation for overall academic growth and success. The more our students read, the stronger their vocabulary, comprehension, writing skills, and confidence become across all subject areas.
Let’s keep the momentum going! We encourage all of our Stags to continue reading and logging their minutes. Every page turned is progress made!
Keep reading, keep growing, and keep reaching for those goals!
