Summer reading


 We participated in Cedar Park library's summer reading club this year.  We also did it last year, but I think Jake was a lot more involved and motivated this time.  You mark off how much you read in 10 minute increments, then you receive small prizes each 200 minutes.  You have to make it to 800 minutes to get better prizes and a chance for special raffle drawings, so that was our main goal, which we accomplished.  Jake had fun keeping up with the log, we all had fun reading together, and he enjoyed free ice cream, personal pizza and a few other goodies as prizes.  At the end of reading club, the library hosted a celebration at Milburn park complete with a clown.  Here's Jake getting his coloring page from Bonzo Crunch...

I love that yours rewards actual reading time and doesn't just give prizes to everyone. Ours will give the (dinky) prizes to each kid every time they come in the library. I wish ours was like it used to be when I was little...like yours!
