We abandoned our summer reading requirement many years ago (I don’t know why)
but I would love to bring it back.
I’m wondering if any of our member high schools run a summer reading program.
Please chime in if you do, I’m looking for ideas for next summer actually (too
late for this one).
Thanks!

Subject: [baisl] Re: Summer Reading encouragement
HI Anne, I create a large summer reading list and then I encourage all the
students to participate in their local public library summer reading programs.
I talk them up and then have the students bring me their summer reading program
forms, or lists and I give little prizes to those participants in the fall.
Since most summer reading programs have great prizes I talk that part up as
well to the students. Hope this helps. : Lisa

Good morning,
Hope this finds all you fabulous librarians thriving amidst this busy end of
the school year! Congratulations for all the wonderful work you do in your
school community.
Would anyone be willing to share ways that you encourage summer reading? Do you
collaborate with teachers on summer reading lists? Do you host a challenge that
you reward in the Fall?
One of my colleagues suggested running a challenge that would reward the class
who reads the most books over the Summer. I am picturing this for our lower
grades (1-5) but we also have middle school.
Thanks so much!
Anne
