What is the Growlers Reading Program?<\/h3>\n

The Kalamazoo Growlers Reading Program aims to promote reading and to reward students for excelling at doing such.<\/p>\n

We center this around National Reading Month (March) but can be completed on any timeline before the end of the calendar school year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

HOW DOES THE READING PROGRAM WORK?<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/div>

The Kalamazoo Growlers Reading Program is super flexible and designed to give the power to each individual teacher\/parent so they can adjust reading goals based on their own classroom\/kid’s reading level.<\/p>\n

Teachers\/parents can also dictate the duration of the program. In the past, teacher\/parent’s timelines for the program could range anywhere from a week-long to the whole month of March.<\/p>\n

The program is based on the concept of a baseball diamond where there are (4) reading goals. Each goal would be additional reading than the past goal (i.e. 1st goal = 15 pages, 2nd goal = 30 pages, etc).<\/p>\n

Each goal that the student hits, they receive a prize!<\/p>\n

If a student hits a home run, they receive an out-of-the-park experience.<\/p>\n

The student will receive a folder with a scannable QR code to redeem two free tickets to a Growlers game this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

WHAT PRIZES DO THE STUDENTS WIN?<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/div>

Each parent or teacher sets 4 custom<\/i> goals for their students.<\/p>\n

For each goal students reach, they get a prize from the Growlers and a prize from one of our sponsors.<\/p>\n

Goals get more challenging as the student progresses.<\/p>\n

Students who reach goal 4 earn a FREE Growlers ticket redeemable for the Kalamazoo Growlers Reading Day Game.<\/p>\n
