Make sure YOU become a
Patriot Reader!
Our new reading program offers monthly and quarterly rewards and incentives to encourage students to maintain a continuous
reading routine throughout the year.
How do I become a Patriot Reader?
Read books from the SSYRA list or the Book Party lists, and pass the quizzes with a 70 or higher. Once your Reading Counts points (from THESE approved booklists) accumulate to the various categories listed below , submit the Patriot Reader Form to Mrs. Jordan in the library. You will receive a Patriot Reader card
(attached to a lanyard). You MUST wear your lanyard when participating in the Patriot Reader activities.
Patriot Reader Levels
RED CARD 200 RC Points or 15 books from the booklists
BLUE CARD 150 RC Points or 10 books from the booklists
WHITE CARD 75 RC Points or 5 books from the booklists
(REMINDER: These points must be from SSYRA and Book Party booklists ONLY!)
EXCEPTION: 8th graders may read any book from the YA section as long as it has a quiz
and it is NOT a movie book.
Select the READING COUNTS BOOK EXPERT link at the top of this page to find out how many points a book has. You can also find the points on the inside cover of most library books and in Destiny.
