- Prefer a digital log to paper copies? Sign up for Summer Reading on Wandoo Reader! This is the same program we used last year. This program gives parents, children, and teens the ability to digitally track minutes spent reading as they work towards reaching both their own personal goal and helping to meet a community-wide goal. In addition to logging your reading, there are also art and writing challenges to complete in order to earn virtual badges and points which can be used in the storyline and Avatar theme of Wandoo. The Family Management Portal feature allows parents to log reading for family members in one spot.
- You may also view or print our Summer Reading Materials here:
- The Reading Log allows you to set your own goal. You will color in a book each time that you hit your goal. Additional activities include writing and art challenges that you can complete to earn brag tags and prize entries.
- For more fun reading challenges, try our Summer Reading Bingo or Junior Summer Reading Bingo and earn brag tags.
- For some outdoor fun, go on our Scavenger Hunt.
- Check out this fun Crossword Puzzle for kids.
- Check out our events that we have happening throughout the summer in our Summer Reading Event Highlights flyer.
We will be posting additional activities on our Facebook page throughout the summer, so keep an eye out!
Submit your materials, or finalize your Wandoo log, by August 14th for brag tags and prize entries.
Thank you for participating and have fun!
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community and extend a huge thank you to our donors.
