The program encourages all students to read at least 25 books from August through April.  ELA teachers work with students to help them achieve their personalized reading goals to attain the rank of novice (5 books), apprentice (10 books), visionary (15 books), enchanter (20 books), or wizard (25 books).  The school will recognize wizards at the end-of-the-year award ceremony.  In addition, a Strive for 25 celebration event is held at the end of the school year to recognize and reward all participants who attained the rank of novice or above.  Each year, the celebration has had to grow as the number of qualified readers has increased.
