2x2 Reading Program

The 2x2 Reading List is a project of the Texas Library Association created to highlight great books for early readers. A committee of Texas librarians develop a collection of 20 new books recommended for children from age two to grade two to be featured on the reading list each year.

It's easy to join in the fun - just read or listen to all 20 books reading list at home, at school, or in the library and keep track of your reading by completing a 2x2 Coloring Sheet. When you finish, return your completed sheet to the library and have your photo added to the wall of fame (and earn extra checkout privileges for the year and a special prize!) Look for the parent-child activity labels inside each book for reading activity ideas too. Multiple copies of 2x2s are available for checkout at the Purefoy Library and Frisco Public Library.
