Read to ME Challenge 2026
Atwood Primary participated in the Read to ME Challenge sponsored by the Maine Department of Education this week! The school was lucky enough to have LeeAnne Larsen visit to read aloud to students throughout the day! Mrs. Larsen is a proud graduate of RSU 18, who currently provides support to teachers across our state as the Director of Early Learning at the Maine DOE.
Mrs. Larsen shared a variety of books by Maine author, Chris Van Dusen, with students… and she even left a copy of the book in every classroom she visited!
In kindergarten, she shared the book Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee, which includes many comical and adventurous mishaps!
In first grade, she shared If I Built a School, which inspired students to creatively brainstorm ideas for a dream school!
In second grade, she shared Big Truck Little Island, which was inspired by an incident that actually happened in Vinalhaven, Maine!
Atwood was thrilled to have Mrs. Larsen visit the school and share her love of books with the Atwood Awesome readers!
Families can join the Read to ME challenge by reading to and/or with your child for at least 15 minutes. You can capture a photo reading with your child and share it on social media using the hashtag #ReadtoME! #WeAreRSU18 #AtwoodAwesome
