Duck, Duck, Goose Reading Challenge Pre-K to 2


Grades > Pre-K to 8

Ready to get “goosed”?

The Library is launching a fun new reading challenge for our Pre-K– to 2 students: Duck, Duck, Goose!

Just fill in a duck for every book read — that includes books read to students at home or in class! When a student has read 15 books, they’ll earn a special prize: their very own rubber ducky! Students can even complete the challenge more than once to earn multiple ducks. If 10 or more students in a class finish the challenge, their teacher will win a special Goose Trophy!

This program will run through December 12. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Mary Kate Fowee at mfowee@darlingtonschool.org.

Thank you for your support & Happy Reading!
