So you want to be a millionaire?
Here’s your chance – be a part of the
Houston ISD Millionaire Club!
What is it?
The Millionaire Club is a coordinated effort by the Department of Library Services, the Literacy Leads the Way initiatve and the Reading Department to keep HISD students reading over the summer months. If all students read five books this summer… HISD students will have read 1 million books!!
Why are we doing it?
Besides becoming better readers, students develop a love for reading, and the entire family can benefit by making reading a family activity. Reading over the summer is the best way to make sure that students enter school in the fall with reading skills at or above the level they were at before leaving for summer break. Students who can least afford to risk the gains made during the school year in the area of reading suffer the most from summer reading loss.
