EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

1.  Special APPLE CORE bookmarks will be given to students the first week of school.
2.  Listen to your child(ren) read and/or read to your child(ren) every night.
3.  Initial one-forth of an apple on the bookmark for every 15 minutes of reading completed.
4.  Have your child write the titles of the books he/she has read on the back of the bookmark.
5.  Sign the completed bookmark after all 20 apples have been initialed (20 hours of before and after-school reading).
6.  Have your child give the bookmark to his/her classroom teacher and receive a new bookmark to continue with this reading program.

The more your child reads, the greater the chance to win a Kindle Fire!  Total reading minutes are tallied in May.  The Henderson elementary school with the greatest number of before and after school hours of reading will be awarded a prize donated by Atkins.

THE OFFICIAL RULES

• APPLE CORE is an out-of-school reading incentive program.  Time spent reading in Safekey and as part of Henderson Libraries programs can also be counted.
• Encourage older siblings to read to younger ones, or to listen to their reading.
• Signed bookmarks will be turned in by the school for children to be entered into a drawing for prizes at the end of the school year.
• The more your child reads, the more bookmarks they will complete and have entered into the drawing.
• The school with the most reading minutes, and the drawing winners, will be announced at an event held in May.
