Family Reading Survey
We celebrate reading at our school and have partnered with Scholastic Book Fairs® to conduct this survey. In our school’s effort to enhance our independent reading culture, we want to learn about your child’s read- ing at home. Please complete one survey for a child living in your home by circling that child’s grade level. Then respond to the items below. We will share the results and plans from what we learn with all families.
