May. 21, 2008 • Summer Reading

Posted in Free Language Arts Resources


The time for summer reading has already arrived! The Old Schoolhouse is hosting their first Summer Reading Splash, complete with a blog here at HSB where children can enter weekly contests to win - what else? - books, or even a series of books. What could be better? TOS has also provided a helpful list of reading goal-setting ideas.

The Summer Reading Splash began on May 19, continues through July 31, and is open to all ages (even nonreaders). Reading logs and a bookmark are available for download here. By completing a reading log and submitting it to the Schoolhouse Store at the end of the Summer Reading Splash, your child will be able to choose a free E-Book.

Here are links to some other Summer Reading Programs:

Veritas Press (also see their Summer Reading Coupon Book - these are incentive coupons for you to give to your children, not store coupons)

Barnes & Noble

Scholastic Summer Reading Buzz (info at the Teachers and Parents pages)

Don't forget to check your local library; we always enjoy our library's summer reading program.

Hi, Andrea!
Just stopped in to answer your question about the graphics. I got them from stock xchng.com

I tweaked them a bit by changing the color. Glad you liked them. Have a great weekend! : )
