Summer Reading Program Initiative

The goal of the Summer Reading Program is to support youth in their development of their reading abilities with age appropriate reading activities. The focus will be on children aged 5-12. Volunteer reading coaches will work with youth to help them track their progress on a reading log. All youth participants will be responsible for reading a minimum of 12 hours for the entire summer.

We will work with local libraries and business to help support and promote this program. Libraries can promote this program by posting information about the program in the libraries, at their events, and on their websites. Local business can help support this program by also promoting it, and providing prizes for those youth who reach their reading goals.
