  • Reading Program Basics

    Research studies show that the more you read, the better reader you become. Because reading is so important, at Sternberger, we expect all students to read (or be read to) at school and also outside of school for at least 20 minutes (K-2) or 30 minutes (3-5) most days during each month. To encourage this reading outside the regular school day, we have a school-wide reading incentive program.

    Through our reading program, we also support the district's initiative, GCS Reads 30.

    To learn more about the program, click on the How It Works 2024-2025 document link below.   

    Minutes read will be recorded by students, parents, or caregivers online in Beanstack.  Beanstack can be access by logging in to Clever.
