Summer Reading Fun

The Summer Reading Program at Dollens will start on June 12th from 1:00 to 3:00. This is for any kids who finished kindergarten through 5th grade, whether they go to Dollens or not. We will be taking any kids that age over there every Tuesday, so that the kids can check out a couple of books. They can return them the next week with the chance to win a prize for reading books. If any kids won’t be here for daycare during that time and have books to return, please bring them back before Tuesday and we will return them for them. Also, you can take your kids to this yourself if your kids won’t be here.

Another option for summer reading is the Scholastic Summer Reading Buzz website (http://www.scholastic.com/summerreading/), which is for kids of all ages. We will make this available to the kids here. A sheet is available where kids can record books in as they read books or have books read to them here or at home. The kids can bring the sheet here with them and we can record them on the website. Once they sign up on the website, they can win prizes, find out about new books, chat with other kids about books, create book-related E-cards, keep a summer reading log, and more. Also, for every book kids read and record online, their literacy partners will donate a book to a kid in need. The books that they read for this can be from anywhere: home, here, the library, etc.

The last option is the summer reading program at the Bedford Public Library, which is also for kids of all ages. Books that they check out there and read can be used to win prizes there.

Happy Reading!
