First See abc's Reading Program Graduate Receives Award

Kaden was the very first person to complete the See abc's reading program. He did it just before he began Kindergarten and he has now just finished the 4th grade. A couple of weeks ago his mother called me excited to tell me that she had just come from his school's end of the year awards program. There is an "Eagle's Nest" award (They are the Summit Eagles). To acheive this award, children have to reach 1,000 AR (Accelerated Reader) points. These points only apply to certain books. The kids have to read them and then take and pass a test on them in order to get the points. An average Harry Potter book would only be about 50 points. So, that tells you it is a LOT of pages to reach this goal! The children have from 3rd to 5th grade to do this. In the history of Summit Elementary, it has never been acheived by a 4th grader, until this year when Kaden and one other did it. Usually a few 5th graders get it; but to get it in only two years time is incredible! His mother said she attributes it all to See abc's. And, he not only read AR approved books, but a lot of others as well. His name has been added to a nice plaque.

So, here's a big shout out to Kaden.... CONGRATULATIONS!!! We're soooooo proud of you!
