Did you know that reading for just 20 minutes per day makes a big impact? A student who reads 📚 20 minutes per day will be exposed to 1.8 million words per year and scores in the 90th percentile on standardized tests!

Whether you’re searching for your next favorite book or exploring exciting summer reading challenges, the RISD Summer Reading program makes learning enjoyable all summer long.

📚 Huge thanks to Altrusa for hosting author, Meredith Davis, in our RISD schools. The inspiring story of kindness and Rebeka in "Her Own Two Feet" truly moved us all. Such a powerful lesson for our students! ✨📖 @kristinleeper9 #RISDdreambig #IamBranum

One of the squares of the School Library Month Bingo was Book Spine Poetry. Making poems out of the titles of books! These are just a few examples the students created. 📚💙

School Library Month Bingo was a hit! Many kiddos got a bingo and 3 overachievers got blackout! We can’t wait to play again next year!
