    PROGRAM OVERVIEW – BY AGE GROUP

    BABIES & TODDLERS (AGES 0-3)

    For the Babies & Toddlers program, participants ages 0-3 (and their grown-ups) are challenged to read 20 books between June 12th-August 5th.

    Fill in a space for each day that you read at least one book to your child and earn stickers for every day of reading, plus a fun reward for completing days 10 and 20.

    Remember: Only one book per day counts toward your daily reading goal!


    CHILDREN (AGES 4-11)

    For the Children’s Program, participants ages 4-11 are challenged to track their daily reading in increments of 20 minutes per day, while working toward a goal of 20 days of summer reading.


    • For each day that participants ages 4-11 read, or are read to, for 20 (or more) minutes, they can color in a circle on their paper reading log.
    • Participants earn stickers for each day of reading they complete, plus a reward for finishing Day 10 and Day 20
    • In addition to their Day 20 reward, children ages 4-11 who complete the program will earn a ticket for the end-of-summer raffle

    Remember: Participants can read more than 20 minutes each day, but only the first 20 minutes count toward the daily reading goal for the Summer Reading Program!


    TEENS (AGES 12-18)

    For the Tween/Teen Program, participants ages 12-18 are challenged to complete a game of Book BINGO, where they’ll work toward a ‘bingo’ by reading books and/or completing activities that match various categories on their game card.


    HOW TEEN BOOK BINGO WORKS:

    • Tween/Teens ages 12-18 are challenged to a game of Book BINGO, where they’ll work toward a ‘bingo’ by reading books and/or completing activities that match various categories on their game card.
      • For each BINGO that a participant completes, they will earn a reward  AND a raffle ticket for the end-of-summer raffle
      • Teens are eligible for a reward (vinyl sticker OR button) and raffle ticket at the following increments:
        • The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th BINGOs = 1 raffle ticket + 1 sticker or button per BINGO
        • The 5th BINGO (i.e., a filled in gamecard) = 1 raffle ticket + pop toy keychain
      • Participants may only complete ONE game card and are not able to earn more than 5 total rewards OR raffle entries. (i.e., they cannot complete a second game card in order to earn more raffle entries)
