Summer Reading Programs:

I like this Summer Reading Program best, as it lets
even "jr high" and "high schoolers" join.

10th Annual Homeschooling Summer Reading Club.
The 8th Annual Summer Reading Club begins May 2, 2008! Get those library cards out!

Sign your children up for the 2008 Summer Reading Club
provided by your About Homeschooling Guide.

In the past, I have done reading incentive programs
for children that have been a big success and
increased recreational reading. It helped to improve
their attitude towards reading, made them more
enthusiastic, and they read a lot more books. Besides
that, children love to get mail.

The only cost for the summer program is a $1.00 stamp
to cover postage.

Sign your children up (K-12 Homeschooled)
Print out Reading List Form
Children read books at their reading level
List books on form and total pages
When the total number of pages reach 500, mail the
list along with a $1.00 stamp to the address provided
on the Reading List Form (one per student).
Your child will receive a certificate, stickers and a prize in the mail by September 30, 2008.
Deadline: Postmarked by August 31, 2008.
Submit your children's favorite books and help create
a recommended reading list to share with others who
are looking for great books to read!
