One District, One Book:
Sartell- St. Stephen Public Schools is excited to bring back the One District, One Book program (ODOB) for a 4th year! The goal of the program is to promote family literacy as well as to create a shared reading experience within the communities of Sartell and St. Stephen during the month of February which is also I Love to Read Month.
Every family with students in kindergarten through 4th grade will receive a copy of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane on Friday, February 1st. Families are encouraged to take time each night to read the book following the district reading calendar. They are also encouraged to participate in related activities throughout the month both at home and at school. Community members are also encouraged to read along.
Each day in school your child will be invited to answer trivia questions, learn about some vocabulary words from the story, or talk about the sequence of events and character actions in the story. There may be additional activities done in your child’s class. Reading the chapters each night will enable your child to fully participate.
A vision of the ODOB committee is to ultimately encourage reading conversations that occur not only at home or at school but also at the grocery stores, banks, restaurants, etc. For more information about the Read to Them organization, please go to their website at www.readtothem.org.
Thank you to the Sartell- St. Stephen Education Foundation (SSEF) for their support of the ODOB program by donating the funds to offer these books to families free of charge!
