Welcome To The 2007
- 2008 Six Flags Six Hour Reading Club!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Your child's school is participating in an
exciting program that encourages children in grades K through 6 to read
for fun. The Six Flags Six Hour Reading Club is part of Read To Succeed,
a free educational program designed to enhance language arts curriculum.
Six Flags has created this program in cooperation with Weekly Reader,
a leading publisher of classroom periodicals. Every student who completes
six hours of recreational reading in a period of time set by the school
(but before March 1, 2008), will earn a free admission ticket valid at
participating Six Flags theme parks.
Please see the school's deadline below. We
encourage you to support your child as he or she strives to achieve this
goal!
Here's what you need to know:
- Only students in grades K
through 6 are eligible to take part in the Six Flags Six Hour Reading
Club.
- Review the Keeping Track
sheet that your child brought home. Your child should use this sheet
to record the material he or she reads and the amount of time spent
reading.
- Your child must complete
six hours, or 360 minutes of recreational reading. It might be easier
to track the time in minute intervals.
- Help your child complete
the six hours of reading. Please initial each entry and then sign
the Keeping Track form to verify that the six hours of reading has
been completed.
- Your child can read books,
magazines, comic books, or newspapers to fulfill the six hours of
recreational reading. What doesn't count is any reading your child
has to do for homework or a class assignment.
- Kids can read silently, aloud,
or with an adult - you can read to your child, or your child can
read to you.
- Remind your child to return
the Keeping Track sheet to is/her teacher by the date indicated
on the form in order to be eligible to receive one free admission
ticket to a participating Six Flags theme park.
- Late entries will
not be accepted.
- Tickets will be distributed
to students b the school's Program Coordinator.
The ticket is valid from June 17, 2008 to August 7, 2008. Lost,
stolen, or damaged tickets cannot be replaced.
We hope that you and your child enjoy participating
in this free program and spend time reading together.
