Boston Collegiate Readathon

Boston Collegiate Charter School engaged in a half-day Readathon to highlight the joy and power of reading.

During the annual event, students enjoyed extended periods of quiet reading. Students wore pajamas and brought stuffed animals and blankets from home to make the day more inviting for curling up with a book.

At the start of the school year, 39% of new Boston Collegiate 5th graders were reading at or above grade level according to the i-Ready reading assessment, a nationally normed diagnostic. Now, 63% of 5th graders are reading at or above grade level.
