 CASA OLE READING INCENTIVES

  Casa Ole has teamed up with Milton's Accelerated Reading  program to provide an ongoing reading incentive for our students. Each child should have received a Casa Ole bookmark that reminds them of the awards. As students read the required books (books within their Zone of Proximal Development) and earn points, they qualify for prizes. The reward is not tied to any particular reporting period. Once a student has reached any level of points they may visit Casa Ole to collect their prizes.

To collect prizes, they are required to:
1. Present their Casa Ole bookmark.
2. Provide a copy of the AR points earned.

( Students may obtain this information in the form of a print out from the school library.)
 
THANK YOU, CASA OLE, FOR SUPPORTING MILTON'S MIGHTY READERS!
