 Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to participate?

No. Eager Reader is an optional program.

Can my child record minutes if I read to him/her?

Yes.  No matter what grade your child is in, you may record minutes you read to him/her.

Do minutes read in the classroom count?

No.  Minutes read during classroom time do not count.  The program is designed to encourage students to read on a regular basis and not just in the classroom.

Do minutes read on a Kindle, Nook, iPad or other electronic reading device count?

Absolutely! Count these minutes just as you would with any other paper book!

Do you get credit for listening to audio books?

No. Eager Reader is an incentive reading program and we would like to have a book present.  Either your child reads independently or with another person who is reading to them.

What if we forget to log/approve minutes by Sunday at 7pm?

If minutes are not entered and approved by Sunday at 7pm for a given week, the minutes will not count for that week.  However, the minutes will be counted in the following week after they are approved by a parent.

Who receives the email if my student logs his/her own minutes?

All parents who are listed in the PTSA website account for a particular child will receive the notification emails, and any of those parents will be able to login and approve the minutes for that child.

How long after my child enters his/her minutes does it take for the parent to receive the email?

Parents will receive an email within 24 hours of when their child has entered the minutes.  However, parents do not have to wait for the email to arrive to approve the minutes. They can just go directly to the PTSA website at any time to approve minutes.

Can my child start participating after the program has begun?

Absolutely!  There are prizes all along the way during the 4 week period.  So even if your child is unable to earn a prize for each level, he or she may be able to complete a few prize levels before the end of the program. 

What kind of books can my child earn through this program?

All the books cover a wide range of interests and reading levels.  This year, lightly used books will be donated through a book swap, also coordinated by the PTSA. A child may select a book from whatever is available.  Volunteers will be able to assist your child in making their selection. Book selection will be the week of February 14.

What happens if my child doesn’t receive the correct prize?

Please reach out to your student’s Room Coordinator. Mistakes happen occasionally, but we try to correct them immediately, so no one is disappointed.

Who pays for Eager Reader?

The PTSA supports the program by purchasing prizes and organizing volunteers to distribute the prizes. We may supplement the prize list with donations from local businesses.  We appreciate our parents thanking sponsors when they cash in the prizes.
