BENNINGTON â While the rewards of reading are manifold, they are typically intangible, like broadened knowledge or vocabulary.
Parker Bruso, who recently completed the fifth grade at Molly Stark Elementary School, likely absorbed those sorts of benefits by reading a multitude of books during the school year â but, as the schoolâs top reader in grades 3 through 5, he also won something tactile: a new Chromebook.
Bruso was one of two students â the other was a student in a separate K-2 category â to win a laptop through the Paddington Bear Award program at the end of the school year.
