LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - With schools closed and kids home during this unprecedented and challenging time, UNLV Athletics has decided to extend Nevada Reading Week – virtually!!

As part of the department's efforts to engage with the Southern Nevada community on a remote basis, this has been launched in response to approximately 320,000 Clark County School District students now learning from home.

Continuing the tradition of student-athletes, coaches and staff reading stories to elementary-age children at local schools during Nevada Reading Week, we will post a virtual story time each day at 9 a.m. on @UNLVAthletics Twitter and Facebook - Nevada Reading Week 2.0!

UNLV Athletics hopes everyone is staying safe and healthy!
