Beat The Summer Slide stay engaged
|
Let's Read 20 is committed to keeping students engaged during the summer break from day to day learning in school. That's why they team up with Marion Public Library to offer programs such as Summer Reading Club to keep kids engaged all summer long. Making the connection with the Library, books and programs keeps kids learning and improving in the summer slide fight.
Students participating in the Summer Reading Club receive prizes for reaching different levels of reading. Plus are able to take advantage of programs scheduled around the national theme "A Universe of Stories". We challenge teachers to challenge their students to take advantage of the Library programs and reach reading goals. Then upon returning to school in the fall they are rewarded again for their efforts. Marion Public Library will validate each student's individual achievement goals with a certificate of completion of the Summer Reading Club program so the student has proof of their summer accomplishments.

Read Too!
|
Let's Read 20 is committed to doing everything possible to get children to read. Children are natural imitators and do absorb and notice everything around them. Adults who are reading are teaching the youngsters around them that reading is important.
It is as essential to have a literate community for it to be a thriving community. Starting from birth to read to a child is habit forming and should continue through adulthood. Our Read Too campaign takes action to make sure adults understand they are the role models of the youngsters around them. Sharing their love for reading and being seen doing so speaks volumes to their little minds. Literacy matters at all ages. |
