READING ADVENTURE PATCH PROGRAM
you can print this page and share it with others
All levels need to only complete 3 requirements

The following requirements should be chosen according to the age level of the participant. The requirements can be worked on as a group or individually. Each requirement can be completed at home, in school, or with specific groups. The idea is to show participants that reading can be fun and that they read daily without even realizing it. You can complete several of the requirements by using some of the books that we offer at Patchwork Designs, Inc. You can use the form located on this site or the honor system from the participants.
