Oklahoma City, Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015 – To mark International Literacy Day and to recognize the critical need for enhancing children’s literacy skills, the Oklahoma City Thunder today encouraged teachers to sign up for its seventh annual Thunder Reading Challenge, presented by American Fidelity.
All Oklahoma teachers for kindergarten through third-grade students are invited to join the program, which seeks to inspire young students to develop good reading habits and a love of reading.
Students track their time spent reading throughout the school year, and the Thunder awards the top monthly reader in each classroom with a Thunder-themed prize and certificate.
