Welcome!

We're excited that you've decided to join us for Stamford Reads! We believe Stamford Reads! will bring students recognition for all the reading they are doing already and also encourage more people to join the Stamford Reads! Nation.

We will be looking to include community partners, making more rewards available all the time. At present, award levels are based upon an average of 5 hours of reading per week above and beyond school work. The current award levels are:

250 hours - A Certificate (A nice one!)

500 hours - Stamfordized Memorabilia

750 hours - Entry into the Stamford Sweepstakes for Sick Prizes

1000 hours - Principal's Graduation Endorsement

But points (and bragging rights) are only a small part of Stamford Reads! Every month we will feature books and hear your recommendations for good reads.

To begin, you will need to register for the program by emailing your name, student #, and your preferred username to stamfordreads@live.com. Once you have an email response confirming your username, you can begin sending in weekly updates of the hours you've spent reading. You will receive more information in your first email from us.
