At Villanova, we value reading. Particularly, the reading of fiction delivers academic, social and emotional as well as health and well-being benefits. For this reason we have devised a Reading Program which invites our community to support our young students in their reading. Click the image to download our Reading Program. -
Along with our Reading Program, we have formulated advice for Parents/Guardians on how they can best assist their sons in becoming self-directed readers. That is, someone who chooses to read for enjoyment.

Setting Reading Goals
As a student, it is important to set goals. Goals provide direction and provide a sense of accomplishment once met. Formulating these goals; however, is a skill. We recommend you set reading goals every term and you apply the S.M.A.R.T approach to goal setting.
What reading goals do you have?
- increase time spent reading a week
- increase the number of books read a year
- finish more books
- read a variety of books
