CLOSTER, N.J.—A second-grader from Hillside Elementary School was one of five winners nationwide randomly selected to receive a new tablet for her participation in a winter read-a-thon that challenged students to continue reading online over the holiday break to improve language development skills.
Seven-year-old Ashley Khramova of Hillside Elementary School was randomly selected in the nationwide challenge to win a Fire tablet from Imagine Learning.
The students would log into their Imagine Learning accounts from Dec. 18, 2019, through Jan. 3 and read assignments for at least 60 minutes to be entered in the read-a-thon challenge.
“The Winter Read-A-Thon is an annual event that is meant to help motivate and engage learners over the holiday break. This is the first year our English Language Learners for first to fourth grades have actively participated in the read-a-thon,” said Hillside Principal Dianne Smith.
She said Imagine Learning “is a great online program that promotes rigorous and equitable development of language that accelerates learning across all subjects, transforming students into stronger, more confident learners.”
