Cheer on the reading!

The Great Reading Games gives students with reading difficulties a chance to be recognized for their efforts and improve their reading success! You encouraged these readers through Twitter, Facebook and Instagram with your words, videos or pictures. #GRG17

The 2016 games ended with students completing over a million pages. Read more about these winners! The 2017 games ended with students completing over 5 million pages!  

During our first annual games in 2014, the top 10 schools were recognized for reading thousands of pages and many were featured in the news including Texas, Illinois, Florida and more!

"The students I teach don’t usually end up with a trophy at the end of the year, but I’ve got a few here who are giving some of the other students in their class a run for their money! We read 8,000 pages, which is phenomenal for any students and especially dyslexic students." -- Connie Bagley, Dyslexia Specialist
