You + Reading = Prizes!

Ermineskin Elementary School Library is pleased to host the FREE 2012 TD Summer Reading Club! This year’s theme is IMAGINE. I am sure my dear students are enjoying the posters, stickers and an activity booklet!

To celebrate summer reading, students and their families are invited to drop-in at the school library on Wednesdays in July and August from 1 to 4 pm and enjoy reading, play word games and related activities

You + Reading = Prizes!

For each book you read, you will receive a sticker. Each sticker has a code which is the key to FUNtastic games. We will hold weekly draws over the summer for readers to have a chance to win lots of prizes!

Read 9 books and post your name on the  9 Books Reading Wall of Fame.

Make storymaps, bookmarks, book trailers, and break your own reading goals!

And it gets better…

Because an Ermineskin student reader is a winner!

The Story Lab Connection

What's The Story Lab Project?

The Story Lab project was designed to build on the success of the UK’s national Summer Reading Challenge (SRC). This programme encourages children to continue reading during the UK’s long summer holidays. The theme for the 2012 SRC is StoryLab - a special laboratory where new stories are created.

Bournemouth Libraries decided to build on this idea by designing a programme of events and activities based on stories. The StoryLab project is all about stories - children reading more of them, mixing and experimenting, collecting and sharing, creating and transmitting them. Through remixing and reinterpreting traditional tales the children will produce new stories from old. As well as having storytellers involved in the project, the schools in Bournemouth and Poole can choose whether to tell their stories in printed form or through dance, music or drama. Each school, or class, will select an artist in a different medium to work with the children on their stories.

Bournemouth Libraries was keen that the project should be a global one, with links to the Olympics and the Cultural Olympiad’s Literature and Libraries strand which aims to inspire creativity across all forms of culture, especially among young people. Each local school has been paired with an overseas partner so that they can swap and share stories. We hope they will also discover much about each other and each other’s countries.

This blog has been created to help that happen.

Print materials and elements part of TD Summer Reading Program 2012

The print materials that are part of the program include:
• A full-colour poster for each child who registers in the program.
• Nine colour stickers for each child. Stickers can be given out each time
reading is accomplished and recorded or they can be given out all at once
depending on library staff preference.
• An activity booklet for each child that contains a story, book suggestions
for all ages, crosswords, riddles, crafts, recipes and log sheets. The story
on the first page of the activity booklet describes the theme. The log
sheets are for recording titles of books read over the summer. Additional
log sheets can be downloaded from the Forms section on the website.
This year, the activity book also includes space for the stickers, and a
game board.
• New this year is a preschool activity booklet, which provides an age appropriate
booklist, activities related to the six Ready for Reading skills
(see page 29), and also a matching game in the centrefold intended to be
used with the stickers.
• An invitation for each child that is designed according to the theme.
Invitations can be distributed to schools, sent to community outreach
locations or given to children who visit the library. If possible, invitations
should be distributed before the end of the school year in June.
• All of the above print materials are free to children who register for the
program.
