I have entered 4th Period and 5th Period into this contest-Let's Do This!
The Reading Plus 2018 Winter Sprint is a four-week contest (Feb. 19 - March 18) that focuses on students earning Combos (two consecutive SeeReader Reading lessons with 80%+ comprehension). Challenge your students to each earn at least six Combos during the four-week period to qualify your class for our prize drawing.
Enter your class by Sunday, Feb. 18. All Reading Plus classes are encouraged to enter! On Monday, March 19, the Reading Plus team will tabulate contest results. If your Class Leaderboard Report indicates a class average of at least six Combos per student during the five-week period, your class will be entered into the prize drawing.  
Reading Plus will award one grand prize, two second-place prizes, and two third-place prizes.
  • Grand Prize: $100 VISA gift card for a class celebration
