I, ____________________________, hereby take this oath to read everyday, and I promise to make reading an essential part of my life.

Reading is fun. Reading is important. Reading allows me the chance to do anything in life, and I will make an effort to achieve my goals.

I will encourage my friends to read and prove to them that reading is fun and "cool."

I will learn new words and its meaning. If I have a problem pronouncing a word, spelling a word, or understanding the meaning of a word, I will ask my parents, teacher, or a trusted adult to help me with the word.

This is my promise because I am the future. Reading is important in my life.
