The month of March is all about reading at Sparke Elementary School in Island Trees.  The faculty and staff at Sparke have planned the annual Reading Incentive Program, with support from the Sparke PTA.  This year’s theme is:  “Books … Your Passport to the World!”   Throughout the month, students and their parents are encouraged to read together each day.  To add to the fun, the staff has planned special events, such as “Read a Hat Day” and “Share Your Favorite Picture Book Day,” and daily poetry readings during morning announcements featuring poems from countries around the world.   Guest readers and buddy readers will also visit the classrooms to share their love of reading.  Special assemblies have been planned, including the kick-off assembly:  “The Bodacious Book Show World Tour!”  The students are having a wonderful time as they strengthen their reading skills and their knowledge about countries all over the world.  Read on, World Travelers!
