WES reads! Make sure you get your children involved in summer reading! ππ
Governor Kay Ivey has officially launched the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge for Alabama students entering Kindergartenβ8th grade!
Students are encouraged to read 6 books this summer and complete a reading log along with a short reflection or drawing about what they learned about the United States of America. As our nation prepares to celebrate Americaβs 250th birthday, this is such a fun way to keep kids reading, learning, and growing all summer long!
Completed entries must be mailed by August 1, 2026.
