Summer Reading Programs
Posted by Marsha | 0 comments
June is the time of year when many local libraries and other bookstores offer Summer Reading Programs. If school is out for summer in your house, these programs can put some oomph and education into your lazy summer days. If you happen to be a year-round homeschooler (like yours truly), it’s also a great way to add a little spice and motivation to your school day!
My boys registered with our local library’s program yesterday and have already been able to mark off 2 hours of reading on their forms. Once they reach 10 hours of reading (either reading by themselves, to a sibling or even listening to an audio book), they will be able to attend a special pizza party at the end of July. They also receive prizes like a free book, kid’s meal at a local restaurant and even admission to a skating rink.
To help you get started in this exciting reading adventure, here is a list of Summer Reading Programs that may be in your area. Be sure to check out the details and rules of your particular reading program as they usually require registration. Also, they may require a certain number of books to be read rather than reading for a particular length of time. If there are any Programs that I might have missed, please let me know so l can add them to the list. And don’t forget to check your local public library!

Marsha is proud to be the Mrs. to David for over 12 years. They have been homeschooling their rowdy boys in the Lone Star State for the past 5 years. When she’s feeling like a slacker, you can find her drinking coffee, reading a book and writing at her blog — and sometimes all at the same time! You can find Marsha at Our Homeschool and Other Such Happenings.
