Read with the Remix

Read with the Remix at Chief Joseph Elementary on January 31, 2025. Suhela Hassan / Rip City Remix

Read. Dream. Cheer. 

Turn Reading into Game Day. 

Read with the Remix is a free literacy program that encourages elementary students to build healthy reading habits while earning a complimentary ticket to a Rip City Remix game. Whether you're reading at home, in the classroom, or at your local library, every page counts. 
We believe basketball can inspire more than what happens on the court. Read with the Remix was created to encourage young readers, support educators, and provide families with an affordable opportunity to experience professional basketball together. 
Our goal is simple: make reading fun, celebrate every child's achievement, and create lasting memories at a Remix game.
