Announcing... 2009 Summer Reading Club

11th Annual Homeschooling Summer Reading Club.

By Beverly Hernandez, About.com

The 11th Annual Summer Reading Club begins today, May 29, 2009! Get those library cards out!

Sign your children up for the 2009 Summer Reading Club provided by your About Homeschooling Guide.

In the past, I have done reading incentive programs for children that have been a big success and increased recreational reading. It helped to improve their attitude towards reading, made them more enthusiastic, and they read a lot more books. Besides that, children love to get mail.

The only cost for the summer program is a $1.39 stamp to cover postage. I'm sorry postage is so high, but the post office has changed the limitations. This is the amount for a 2 oz. large envelope that's not uniformly thick, making it the cost of a package.

  • Sign your children up (K-12 Homeschooled)
  • Print out Reading List Form
  • Children read books at their reading level
  • List books on form and total pages
  • When the total number of pages reach 500, mail the list along with a $1.39 stamp to the address provided on the Reading List Form (one per student).
  • Your child will receive a certificate, stickers and a prize in the mail by September 30, 2009.
  • Deadline: Postmarked by August 31, 2009.

Submit your children's favorite books and help create a recommended reading list to share with others who are looking for great books to read!
