The Summer Reading Program is just the first in many for my “Whatcha Reading” series. Promoting literacy is such an integral part of my life, as a teacher and a mother, and I wanted to extended it to all of you. Therefore, I aim to bring a series “Whatcha Reading” to AFM. Here you will find book picks for children, adults, as well as tips for promoting literacy within your home.
Among my many lofty goals to accomplish this summer, summer reading tops the list. (Specifically, working on teaching my daughter to read. But I’ll dive in to that topic on another day…) We recently hit up our Gwinnett library, and signed up for their summer reading program, called “Dig in to Reading!”
Upon signing up, our “kit” included some great tools to help us get started, including a log to help us reach our reading goals, stickers, a some bookmarks. (That it also contained a coupon for a FREE Chick-fil-a kids meal, good anywhere in Gwinnett, and a coupon for a FREE slushie at Sonic were but mere bonuses!) Along with their program, there are events happening at each location throughout the summer, including puppet shows, story times, and more! If you’re a resident of Gwinnett, I highly encourage you to check it out!
Similar summer reading programs for children can be found throughout the metro Atlanta area.
Check with your local library to see what they have to offer! Here is Dekalb’s program, and here is Fulton’s.
