K300 Reading Race

Kuskokwim 300 Reading Race

 January 17th to February 21st, 2022

 The annual “Kuskokwim 300 Reading Race” begins Monday, January 17th, 2022 and ends on Tuesday, February 21st, 2022.  Shortly after the K-300 Sled Dog Race began, Mikelnguut Elitnaurviat K-300 Reading Race started to promote reading at home and to celebrate the great history of dog mushing when our mail was delivered by dog team in the early 1900’s.

 READING RACE RULES

  1. All M.E. students may join the race.
  2. The entire race has 10 checkpoints.
  3. Reach each checkpoint by reading 10 books or 10 chapters.
  4. Teachers will track student progress at school and students will keep track of their own progress on a personal K300 Reading Race map at home. The map will be sent home the day the race begins.
  5. Books can be read to or by the student.
  6. Parents and teachers verify when books/chapters are read by recording the titles on a special checkpoint sheet. Teachers will send out blank checkpoint sheets with January and February learning materials.
  7. Checkpoint sheets are to be signed and returned to the student’s teacher as they are completed.

 Parents, please monitor what the children read. While the race is based on the number of books read and not the time spent reading, we encourage that students read at a recreational reading level. Reading to your child is quite beneficial and will also be counted.

The K300 Reading Race Rules, Song, and Checklist Map are available on our website K300 Reading Race Headquarters

 LET THE RACE BEGIN! START READING JANUARY 17th!
