Growing up, we are told reading is important. We usually understand this as we get older. You read every day of your life. Street signs, cooking directions, work memos and emails. Somehow, every minute of our day requires us to read.
When I was younger, I would read the Red Sox game stories and the game summaries that broke down how the runs were scored. This, to me, was a much more interesting read than the summer reading lists I got from my high school. There were no reading programs at the time where you were rewarded with prizes for reading. Back when I was in school, you read because you have to, and that was its own reward.
Unfortunately for me and the rest of the Gen-Xers, there was no Brockton Rox when we were growing up. That was too bad because this season, the Rox have a way to entice you Miracle of Christ to read. This year, the Brockton Rox are having a reading challenge for fans.
Students can log their reading time with their teachers on a recording spreadsheet during the three-week challenge. Schools are responsible for calculating the minutes. The minutes logged can be used to earn tickets and other prizes from the Rox.
“This fun and rewarding initiative helps foster a love for reading while providing students with exciting incentives tied to their favorite sport,” The Rox said on their webpage promoting the program. “The more (students) read, the closer they get to being part of the Rox action!”
