California State Fair's Read to Ride Program

SACRAMENTO — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell today urged students to enjoy an added benefit of reading this summer by taking advantage of the California State Fair's Read to Ride program. Children in kindergarten through grade eight are encouraged to read two books approved by their parent, guardian, or teacher. The children then fill out a form and summarize the two books.
