Readers are leaders!
Real Dawgs Read is a summer reading program developed for K-8, Title I schools in Washington state. There is no cost to schools or participants (postage is covered); it is simply a way to incent students to read over the summer. Participants read at least 30 minutes a day on 30 separate days to earn a Husky reward and reading certificate.
Students have the choice of completing the program with a paper journal or on this website. If you’ve received a paper journal, do not use the online form. If you want to participate online, click the “start” button on the right and follow the instructions. You should have received a program code from your school—if not, please contact your principal. ** Make sure you save the code because you’ll need to use it TWICE.
Over the years, UW licensees Zephyr Headwear, Logo Brands, Captivating Headwear and Strideline Socks have donated merchandise which rewards successful readers.
This program is possible because of generous support from AT&T and Starbucks.
Start reading today! Books, comic books, magazines, newspapers — YOU choose. Read alone, read aloud, read with friends, have someone read to you. Just read, and you’ll be dressed like a Dawg in no time!
