Summer Reading
Libraries reach
out to all grades
Local branches o f the Multnomah
County Library system are kicking
o ff the largest-ever Summer Read
ing program.
Young readers or their parents
can b eg in by p ick in g up a
gameboard from any Multnomah
County library. Thegameboardsare
customized for three age groups:
birth - preschool (also available in
Spanish), grades K. - 6 and grades 7
-1 2 .
Readers engage in any number of
literacy-bui Iding activities and track
their progress on their gameboards.
As gameboards are completed, the
participants earn books, coupons
for ice cream or swimming and other
prizes. Parents can also register to
win a $1,000 Oregon College Sav
ings Plan account from the Oregon
College Savings Plan when they
register their children.
Studies show that over the sum
mer months, students lose about
two months o f reading comprehen
sion skills. The Summer Reading
program helps close that gap by
giving kids an incentive to come to
the library during the summer and
take part in performances and ac
tivities. Most importantly, they re
turn to school with their reading
skills intact, ready to build on what
they learned the year before.
