Eagles Read! Summer Reading Program

The Eastern Washington Area Health Education Center (EWAHEC) is happy to continue the Eagles Read! Summer Reading program for the summer of 2020!  This program is generously funded by support from the Washington State Department of Health.  Eagles Read! is available to students in kindergarten through 8th grade who live in Eastern Washington (Spokane, you too!).  Students are required to read 20 minutes per day for 30 days over the summer.  Students who complete the program send in their journal and receive an EWU Eagles hat and a certificate.

**********************************************************************************

In Response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the EWAHEC is starting Eagles Read right away.  Students will be out of school between March 16 and April 27, and we want our young people to continue learning as best they can while they are away from school. Any K-8th grade student in eastern Washington can participate!

Download the journal here: 2020 Eagles Read Journal_Final

  1. Print the journal side and have your student complete the line with the book title and color the eagle as they read.
  2. Scan or take a picture with your phone and email the completed journal to swashburn@ewu.edu with the reader's full name and mailing address.
  3. EWAHEC will ship out the hat and certificate.

This year's hat, youth size, is pictured below.

FAQ:

1. How do I get a journal for my child to participate?

Please check at your local library.  If your library doesn't have them, they aren't participating, but that doesn't mean you can't!  email swashburn@ewu.edu to request a journal and we will mail one to you.

2. My child doesn't read yet.  Can we read to them and get the credit?

As long as the child is entering kindergarten, they are welcome to participate.  We encourage a love of reading!

3. How do we claim the hat and certificate?

The journal is a self-mailer.  You will tape the 3 sides and send it to us, no stamp required.  We will ship out hats and certificates on a monthly basis.

4. When will we get the hat and certificate?

Your hat and certificate will arrive within a month of finishing the program.  We will be ordering hats and certificates in batches to make sure we have enough for everyone.

5. How much does Eagles Read! cost?

Eagles Read! is complimentary, thanks to a grant from the Washington State Department of Health.  A love of reading will pay dividends across your child's life.

Please contact Sasha Washburn, EWAHEC Office Assistant, at swashburn@ewu.edu with questions.
