First year head coach Willie Taggart is championing a summer mission to encourage students from kindergarten through eighth grade to continue reading.
Coach Taggart’s Touchdown Readers is a program where students must read four grade appropriate books in order to receive two free tickets to the first FAU home football game of the season against Stony Brook on Sep. 12. They will also receive a t-shirt and have a photo opportunity on the field after the game.
“The mission of the program is designed to encourage elementary-and middle school-age students to continue reading, with a goal of completing four grade-level appropriate books,” the press release said.
