Kids Read Now Comes To North Side Primary

On Thursday, May 16 from 6-7pm, North Side Primary is hosting Kids Read Now Family Reading Night.

Kids Read Now is a nationwide organization that pairs with school districts to keep reading a priority, even throughout the summer months. The goal is to close the achievement gap and eliminate the summer reading slide that occurs during the summer break.

Kids Read Now does this by providing students the ability to receive up to nine new, free books from a popular wish list over the course of the summer. The first three books are chosen by the student with the help of their teachers and parents at the Family Reading Night on May 16. Once a book is read, parents notify Kids Read Now by text, call, or email, and they receive the next book on their list.

This is North Side Primary’s first time holding the event and they are excited to see the outcome! For more information please visit the Kids Read Now website.
