Reading At Home 2026-2027

 
You can earn books for reading at home! All you have to do is read 20/30 minutes a day and keep track of your reading minutes with our handy calendar. Your reading options can include RAZ-Kids, TumbleBooks, reading to yourself, reading to a buddy, or having an adult read to you. When you have reached your goal, turn your calendar to your teacher to earn your reward from the PTA.

  • Q: What is the Reading At Home (RAH) program?

A: The RAH program is the Apollo PTA’s reading incentive program. Although students are often assigned to read at home as part of homework, we want to help provide another motivation.

  • Q: What reward will my child earn?

A: Students who complete the challenge and turn it in by the due date will earn a free new book! We organize a special “Book Giveaway” during a recess when students can come and choose their own book. All new books come from the proceeds earned by the Apollo PTA’s Scholastic Book Fairs!

  • Q: Where does my child turn in their form?

A: They can turn it into their teacher or in the RAH return box located in the library.

  • Q: If I read to my child every day, can I count this on the RAH form?

A: Yes. If your child is younger and just learning to read, you can count this on the RAH form.

  • Q: If my child uses RAZ-Kids or listens to audio books, can I count this on the RAH form?

A: Yes.

  • Q: I would like to help with the Book Giveaway and help my student and others pick out new books. Who should I contact?

A: You can contact rah@apollopta.org and we’ll let you know the date and time of the next Book Giveaway!
