4-H Reading Program

Youth who enjoy reading are able to continue this hobby and make an exhibit showing something that they have learned. Others may develop a new passion for reading when they take this project. Youth read a total of eight books, 4 of their choice, and 4 from the Indiana Reading List at or above their grade level.   

Exhibits will be judged according to grade level
