Hooked On Books (HOB): A Reading Program That Inspires a Lifelong Love for Reading

“A book is a dream that you hold in your hands.” — Neil Gaiman

At School-Connection, we believe that every child can develop a love for reading—they just need the right book! Our Hooked On Books (HOB) program is designed to strengthen reading comprehension, critical thinking, and confidence through engaging, structured, and student-centered learning.

HOB provides a supportive, small-group environment where students read one book per week, boosting engagement by selecting books that match their interests and reading level. And for parents? No more stressing over comprehension checks at the dinner table — we take care of progress monitoring for you!

How Hooked On Books Works

We empower students to take ownership of their reading journey by selecting books through:

Accelerated Reader (AR) Program – Students choose books based on their independent reading level for targeted skill development.
Access to MyOn’s Digital Library – A vast online library provides a diverse selection of books anytime, anywhere.
Local Library Selections – Encouraging students to explore and borrow books from their community library.

Why Choose HOB?

  • Critical Thinking & Comprehension – Students engage with structured journal questions that help them analyze, reflect, and connect with their reading.
  • Written Responses for Deeper Learning – Guided exercises encourage students to examine the text more closely and express their thoughts clearly.
  • Accelerated Reader (AR) Quizzes – Online assessments provide targeted feedback on comprehension and retention.
  • STAR Reading Assessments – Conducted every three months, these evaluations track progress and ensure mastery of key reading skills aligned with state standards.
