March is an exciting time for first graders at Clear Stream Avenue School in Valley Stream District 30 as they embark on a thrilling reading adventure.  

Inspired by the excitement of the annual basketball tournament, teachers Mrs. Rodriguez-Cortes and Ms. Curley have created a literary challenge that sparks enthusiasm for books while fostering a love for reading. In this friendly competition, students explore a carefully curated selection of books chosen by their teachers. Each book introduces them to new characters, exciting adventures, and valuable life lessons. As they read, students not only enjoy the magic of storytelling but also strengthen their comprehension and critical thinking skills through meaningful discussions about their favorite books. 

Throughout the month, the first graders will vote for their top picks, narrowing down the selections in a fun bracket-style challenge. Just like in sports, students will cheer on their favorite books as they advance through each round, leading to the ultimate champion — Clear Stream’s favorite book of the month. 

This initiative is more than just a reading challenge; it’s a way to encourage young learners to develop a lifelong passion for books. By making reading engaging and interactive, March Madness with Books transforms literacy into an exciting adventure for first graders.
