2024 25 RITG LOGO Concordiauniv Fullcolor Light

Reading Is the Goal presented by Concordia University Irvine is part of the Anaheim Ducks S.C.O.R.E. In-Class Education Program and rewards 1st-4th grade students for their time spent reading per day within a flexible four week period. Its goals are to convey the importance of reading as the foundation to success and to help students cultivate a life-long love for reading. Since its inception, Reading Is the Goal has made significant contributions within schools. It has raised students' reading proficiency as well as test scores among its participants. Through its work in the community, Reading Is the Goal has received awards from the International Reading Association (IRA).  

Reading Is the Goal is an effective literacy program that can be implemented in your classroom with flexibility and with a minor time commitment. Over a four week period, students record their daily reading times on an official Reading Is the Goal form. The Ducks reward students based upon their participation and personal achievement reaching various plateau levels between 300 and 1000 total minutes read. To help encourage all students to read, they can work together to win great prizes for their entire classroom. Teachers who participate in this free program will receive an official Ducks Reading Is the Goal Kit containing materials to supplement student engagement in the program.

Reading is the Goal Day

Reading Is the Goal Day is the Anaheim Ducks' annual event used to promote literacy and the importance of education to students locally. Each year, the Ducks select a school from its Ducks S.C.O.R.E. Reading Is the Goal participants from the previous year as a recipient of this exciting day. Ducks executive and front office members are sent to each classroom to interact with students and read to them. The event concludes with an all-school assembly with Anaheim Ducks players where they read a children's book, conduct a question and answer session, and present gifts to the school.

This year, we will select a school to host this special day through the nomination form below. We will consider many factors, including schoolwide Reading is the Goal participation.

This form will close September 19.
