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.
Circle one: PreK K 1 2 3 4 5 6 Other Circle one: Male Female
What can the school do to support your efforts to read at home each day with your child?
What have you done at home that you are willing to share with other families at our school that has inspired
your child to want to read at home for pleasure?
Please provide us with any other suggestions or questions here:
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this survey. Together we are raising readers and we
commit to share our survey results and plans with you as soon as possible.
