This summer, we participated in the local library's summer reading program. Because our local schools are now on a balanced schedule, the last day to get points is next week. We went in yesterday for our final point and prize visit.
The exciting news is that Abby filled up her entire card of 500 points! Kids who did that got to put their name on a gear and add it to the wall. Abby was SOOOO excited. Just to give you an idea, picture books were 5 points, and chapter books and fact books were 15. She (and we) did a lot of reading this summer!
Lily also had a ton of points but because hers were all 5 point books, the total doesn't rise quite as quickly.
I'm excited because I was able to sway most of their prize points to the "free" books, instead of the junky toys. We ended up with a few of those, but the girls each got several new books (which each cost 80 points).
I'm definitely raising little readers. :)
