Hatch Elementary Schoolâs Young Authors Week, a weeklong series of reading activities, has always strived to encourage students to cherish reading in and out of the classroom. Even as the school continues remote learning this year, the eventâs mission remains the same.
Thursdayâs Community Readers Day, when a handful of volunteers normally read to multiple classrooms, will take place over Zoom. The schoolâs annual âRead-a-thonâ includes several events meant to highlight studentsâ favorite stories, literature and characters. There will be schoolwide Bingo with activities such as reading on the phone or Facetime, recommending a book to a friend and reading in a homemade fort.
