Our neighborhood library is having a children's summer reading program and the theme is bugs. McKay and Elena decided to sign up for it, and every time they read a certain amount of minutes they get a prize. There is a possibility of 5 prizes, and Elena got her first prize in two days. She had to read 180 minutes. McKay did the program last year and I guess the novelty of prizes has worn off because although he has read plenty, he has not recorded a single minute.
Alexia is not yet an independent reader so she could not sign up. However, this year they decided to do a family program on the same theme. We read books and do projects together as a family, and then at the end get to put our name in some sort of drawing. This is fitting into our school perfectly. One of our projects was to make and submit a bug poster. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully, this will help keep us busy all summer.

I am impressed! Wow, what great little readers!
Fun! We have a summer reading program too. I need to sign the kids up soon! Our library doesn't distinguish between independent readers and being read to, just ages. Libraries are so great!
That is so neat, I need an incentive to get Savanna to read more. Now that school is out she thinks she is off the hook for reading!
