The Principal's
Century
Book Club
T he Principal's Century Book Club is a listing of children who read multiples of one hundred books during their years at Eisenhower School.
*Books can be read by parents or enjoy a shared reading with your child. Take turns, use voices, and, most importantly, have fun!
Remember to ask plenty of comprehension questions and discuss new vocabulary words!
Your child’s name will be added to the front foyer wall when they read their first one hundred books. Their name continues to be added with each 100 books they read. 
Students will also receive a special prize from the office.
B ooks should be at the child’s reading level, and left to parent’s discretion.
Below, is a link to a form that you can download and print.

You may also list the books on a sheet of paper. 

Setting aside 20-minutes a night for family reading with or to your child makes a world of difference.
