Dear Families,
Your child’s school is participating in an exciting program that encourages children in grades K through 6 to
read for fun. Read to Succeed® is a free program from Six Flags and Discovery Education. Every student
who completes six hours of recreational reading before the school’s deadline noted below is eligible for a
free admission ticket valid at participating Six Flags theme parks.
Students will develop a greater appreciation for books when they see that you think reading is important too. You’re sure to have fun as you investigate the world of reading together!
Here’s what you need to know:
- • Only students in grades K through 6 are eligible to take part in the Reading Club.
- • Review the reading log that your child brought home. Your child should use this sheet to record what
and how long he/she reads.
- • Your child must complete six hours, or 360 minutes of recreational reading. Please initial each entry
and then sign the reading log to verify that the six hours of reading has been completed.
- • Your child can read books, magazines, newspapers, or comic books. What doesn’t count is any
reading your child must do for homework or a class assignment. Kids can read silently, aloud, or with
an adult—you can read to your child, or your child can read to you.
- • Remind your child to return the reading log to his/her teacher by the date on the form. Late entries will
not be accepted.
About the Tickets
Tickets will be distributed to students by the school’s coordinator. The ticket is valid for admission on select
dates during the 2011 summer season. Dates will be printed on tickets. Lost, stolen, or damaged tickets
cannot be replaced.
Look for the Family Discount Offer!
Each Read to Succeed ticket will come with a discounted admission ticket offer for families so that they can
celebrate their child’s accomplishment. This discount information will be printed on the student ticket and
can be accessed at discoveryeducation.com/readtosucceed.
We hope that you and your child enjoy this free program and spend time reading together.
Happy Reading!
Please encourage your child to complete six hours of recreational reading and return the reading log to
his/her teacher by February 14, 2011.
