The purpose of the Sursum Libros reading program is to challenge the SJA community to read beyond required classroom assignments. There are numerous academic and personal benefits to reading, including increased vocabulary, better standardardized tests scores and increased empathy. Reading is also an enjoyable and stress-relieving activity.
In order to increase the amount of independent reading taking place in our community, we offer several opportunities to engage more readership throughout the entire year:
Summer (1)890
Jaguar Leaps Reading Challenge
Monthly contests and cultural celebrations
Monthly booklists
Summer Suggested Reading List
The Summer (1)890 challenges participants to read 890 pages or more during the summer months (May-August). Summer break offers the opportunity to pursue interests and provides extra time to get reading done. Those who reach the goal of 890 pages will be invited to join in our celebration with the Kona Ice Truck. Participate by logging the books you have read on the Google Sheet found in the Google Classroom.
We offer the Suggested Summer Reading List to help readers find the perfect book to read over the summer. The booklist is complied from academic department suggestions and input from the entire SJA community.
