I'm gearing up for all my summer reading, and I thought I would share with you some wonderful sites that have great summer reading "helps"...

Scholastic

Classroom Jr.

It's Written on the Walls

ABC Teach

School Family

DLTK Teach

PBS

Barnes & Noble

These sites each have different helps, lists, printables, logs, ideas, programs to help your kids read this summer.  My favorite is Barnes & Noble's Summer Reading program, where you read 8 books, then take the log in and you get a FREE book!  There is nothing better than FREE BOOKS!  =)  So check out these sites and keep reading this summer!

Don't forget... 

WORLD RECORD READING!!

May 1, 2012 - August 31, 2012

This summer we are going to READ!!

We are one of two schools in Utah registered in Scholastic's "Read for the World Record" competition!  Papers were sent home week before last with all the directions on how to get registered, but here's the link just in case.  Click HERE to register, then log on weekly (or as often as you would like =) to record your minutes!

I am SO excited to be participating in this!  If we are one of the top 20 schools participating, we will get our schools name RIVERVIEW ELEMENTARY published in the 2013 Scholastic Book of World Records!  How oober cool is that?? =)

Our Scholastic Buy One Get One Free book fair is coming!  This is a great opportunity to pick up some super reading material for the summer, and to keep you on track with your personal goal in our Read for the World Record activity.  As of this posting, I (Mrs. Haymond) have logged 180 minutes of reading.  Not as high as I would like, because I had WAY too many things to do this weekend, but I hope to get back on track with my reading TONIGHT!!  So gear up, and join me!  Heck, why not BEAT me?  Collect MORE minutes than I do...think you can do that?? =)  I double dog dare you to read more than I do!  Ready?  Set?  GO!
