Six Flags Over Georgia and Discovery Education are partnering together to offer free admission to the Southeast theme park for K-6 students that participate in Read to Succeed, an online program geared to encourage students to read outside of the classroom.
Students who complete six hours of non-school-related reading, such as picture books, newspapers, comic books, novels and nonfiction materials, are eligible to earn a free admission ticket. Teachers with 10 or more students who participate in and complete the program are also eligible to earn a free ticket. Read to Succeed registration is now open for all schools online at http://discoveryeducation.com/readtosucceed.
“In 2011, more than 1,600 schools participated in this program throughout the Southeast,” said Melinda Ashcraft, Park President. “We hope to increase that number next year by encouraging more teachers to sign up their classrooms and help promote literacy in our communities.”
