I’m excited to announce my 3rd Annual Summer Reading Program for students in the 95th District! This is a great opportunity for kids to enhance their reading and comprehension skills while having fun too.
My Summer Reading Program challenges K-6th grade students to read 8 books during their summer break. Books of 150 pages or more count as two books and can be listed twice on the form.
Students who successfully finish reading 8 books and return the form by the August 1st deadline will be invited to a special Fall pizza party. At the party, students will receive an official certificate from the Illinois House of Representatives recognizing their commitment to reading.
Summer Reading brochures have also been delivered to schools across the 95th District. If you have any questions about this program, please contact my office at 217-782-0053, or by email: [email protected].
