students playing kickball on t he playground

On Friday, Clarkston's 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders celebrated reaching their reading goals with a kickball game at the end of the day!


Celebrating reading goals for kids is a crucial element in nurturing a lifelong love for books and learning. When children reach their reading milestones, it reinforces the idea that reading is an achievement worth celebrating. These celebrations instill a sense of pride and accomplishment, motivating young readers to continue their literary journey. 

Recognizing their efforts and progress not only boosts their self-confidence but also fosters a positive attitude towards reading, making it an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Furthermore, these celebrations can involve parents, teachers, and peers, creating a supportive community that values and encourages literacy. 

By celebrating reading goals, we not only nurture a generation of avid readers but also equip them with a valuable skill and a passion for lifelong learning.
