We encourage students to keep reading all summer long! The Cobb County School District Library Media
Education Department is partnering again with Cobb and Smyrna Public Libraries for our Summer Reading Challenge 2022. The student challenge is to read 20 minutes each day and at least 10 hours this summer. Students earn digital badges by logging reading in Beanstack, our year-round reading engagement platform – it's like a “fitbit for reading!” Dodgen students who participate will be eligible for a drawing in the fall!
Reading throughout the summer for at least 20 minutes a day helps students maintain learning gains made in school and start the upcoming new school year off right. These resources can help:
Keep reading and have fun this summer!
