California Reads 2024-25
Dear Doyle Families,
We are very excited to begin the 2024-2025 California Reads. This reading program is designed by the California Teachers Association to encourage reading and was adopted by the Doyle PTA in 2018. California Reads has been part of the PTA’s annual lineup of programs since its adoption and is accessible online through your student’s school account. This year, the program starts on Monday, October 14, 2024 and ends on Friday, January 17, 2025.
The program is designed to account for time spent reading. This format enables the students to get credit for reading various materials in any format. It was allows your child to use classroom-assigned reading to count towards CA Reads minutes.
Included below is more information about how to participate in this year’s CA Reads program.
Your support absolutely helps in motivating student participation! We invite any questions to careads@doylepta.org

Instructions & Links for Reading Logs
UTK, K, & 1st — Reading logs are accessible through this link. While reading logs may be submitted at any time, we encourage submitting at least one log a week to help students track their reading minutes.
2nd - 5th — Reading logs are available through Google Classroom. Detailed instructions for this can be found here. When students log into their Doyle Elementary Google account, they can join the Google Classroom using the code u6prxca By joining this classroom, kids will be able to submit reading logs, receive virtual badges, access various reading resources, and ultimately receive a program participation/completion certificate. While reading logs may be submitted at any time, we encourage submitting at least one log a week to help students track their reading minutes.
Badges and Reading Levels — There are 7 reading levels that may be completed in the program. For each level, students will receive a virtual badge. These badges will be displayed on the student's Google Classroom page (2nd - 5th), or will be handed out in their classroom as stickers (UTK - 1st). Reading levels by minutes read are as follows:
- UTK/Kindergarten — 1 hour and 30 minutes per level
- 1st grade — 2 hours per level
- 2nd grade — 2 hours and 30 mnutes per level
- 3rd - 5th grades — 3 hours per level
Rewards — Students will receive a small reward for each "even" level (2nd, 4th, and 6th levels). They may also receive a free one-topping personal pizza from Pizza Hut** for each "odd" level (1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th levels). We will need parent/guardian permission and an email address to award the latter incentive.
