The Washoe County School District (WCSD) is excited to join schools across Nevada in celebrating Nevada Reading Week, March 2–6, 2026. This annual statewide tradition highlights the joy of reading and the importance of strong literacy skills for every student.  

Throughout the week, WCSD schools are hosting a variety of reading-themed activities, including classroom read‑-‑alouds, book-‑themed celebrations, family engagement events, and guest readers from across the community. Students are encouraged to explore new stories, share their favorite books, and celebrate the power of literacy.

Several special guests are visiting classrooms throughout the week, including Nevada community partners, University of Nevada, Reno volunteers, and members of the WCSD Board of Trustees. Their participation helps reinforce a simple but powerful message: reading opens doors—for learning, for imagination, and for the future.

Families, staff, and the wider community are invited to follow along as WCSD highlights Nevada Reading Week moments from schools across the district. The WCSD Communications Department is sharing photos and stories on the district website and social media platforms throughout the week.

Nevada Reading Week is an opportunity to celebrate students’ growth as readers, honor the dedication of educators, and inspire a love of reading that lasts far beyond the classroom.

Happy Reading Week, WCSD!
