How to Get Started

For the Library

Review the below material
Call the GreenJackets with any questions

2. Sign Up

3. Set Reading Requirements

Auggie's Reading Summer Program is divided into four sections, each representing a "base" on the baseball diamond. Once readers complete an assignment, they will advance to the next base! The goal is to hit a "grand slam" by the end of the designated time frame set by the Librarians or Media Specialists.
Librarians or Media Specialists work with readers to set requirements and goals. Goals can be set by the number of books, number of pages, number of hours spent reading, etc.

4. Track Student Progress

Librarians or Media Specialists will track the progress of their readers. Parents are also encouraged to help track their child's progress.
