Road map to reading
Reading can take you places you've never been before. In the case of Guilford County Schools (GCS), it will take students on a coast-to-coast journey from Cape Hatteras to San Francisco.
 
 
Each student will strive to move the 3,114 miles across the country by the next State of Our Schools event in January 2014. The district will also track its progress as a whole by taking the total number of minutes read and dividing that by the number of students.
 
"Children who are frequent readers have been shown to perform better in the classroom, spend more time volunteering and work in higher-paying jobs after school," says Dr. Beth Folger, Chief Academic Officer. "Roadmap 2 Reading gives our students a clear and easy guideline to follow to help them become more avid readers."
 
Parents can help students on their journey....
