The goal of the Wild About Reading program is to promote the importance of reading and increase student literacy by encouraging kids to read inside and outside of the classroom. Last year, more than 2,000 students from over 400 classrooms in the State of Minnesota registered for the Wild About Reading program. 

The 2017 Wild About Reading program offers materials for educators in the State of Hockey by providing elementary school teachers in K-6 classrooms with downloadable Wild About Reading Weekly Goal Posters and other fun materials throughout the month of March. Each weekly Wild About Reading Goal Poster will encourage kids to keep reading by offering a fun reading goal for students to take on. K-6 elementary school classroom teachers are encouraged to register to have a weekly goal poster delivered to them via email every Friday, starting March 3rd. Eligible classrooms who register to receive weekly posters until March 10, 2017 will also automatically be entered into a random drawing to receive a classroom visit with a Minnesota Wild front office staff member. To be eligible to win a classroom reading visit, the entering class must be a K-6 Minnesota based classroom. For those who choose not to register, the same weekly Wild About Reading Goal Poster will be available to download on Wild.com each Monday in March free of charge. Wild About Reading Goal Posters can be printed and posted in classrooms to keep kids motivated to read throughout the month of March.
