Comal Reads
Beginning on April 8, our elementary campuses are embarking on an exciting, annual family literacy project called Comal Reads! Please join us for this 4-week event, as we read The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. Research confirms that literacy activities in the home contribute not only to reading and math success, but also to developing a life-long love of reading. We hope you join us in this district-wide effort.

Can a robot survive in the wilderness?
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is all alone on a remote, wild island. She has no idea how she got there or what her purpose is—but she knows she needs to survive. After battling a violent storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she realizes that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants.
As Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like home—until, one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her.
From bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Peter Brown comes a heartwarming and action-packed novel about what happens when nature and technology collide. (From www.barnesandnoble.com
