National Reading Month

Join us in celebrating National Reading Month at Clarke! The Clarke community takes pride in promoting reading for all ages and recognizing it as a crucial element for learning, social engagement and professional development. 

At Clarke, fostering a love of reading is a core focus. Whether it’s reading aloud or setting individualized goals during shared reading time, our team emphasizes the value of reading both inside and outside the classroom.
