Summer Reading Opportunities
Houston Public Library Summer Reading Program: Students will earn a book just for signing up, and at each prize level they will earn another book and a badge to show off their success. Students can earn even more prizes through weekly drawings and can participate in multiple in-person and virtual activities geared just for kids and teens. There are prizes for the whole family too, so get everyone reading this summer! Register, Read and Reap the Rewards: https://houstonlibrary.beanstack.org/reader365.
myON Summer Reading Challenge: Students simply have to login to myON through the HUB-Digital Resources to access and automatically log their reading. We encourage students to read for 20 minutes a day for at least five days each week!
Scholastic Summer Reading Program: From April 26 through September 3, kids can visit the summer zone in Scholastic Home Base. While in the Home Base, readers can make a difference by starting and keeping Reading Streaks™ to unlock a donation of 100,000 print books from Scholastic to Save the Children for kids in rural America with limited or no access to books. Students can read select, full e-books and watch author read-alouds, meet their favorite Scholastic characters and engage with bestselling authors in special virtual events.
