Teen Summer Reading 2014
Published June 16, 2014 by willimanticteens
Our online teen summer reading program for students going into grades 9-12 is now active and goes until August 25. Earn rewards for registering for and completing the program, and be entered into a raffle to win a $50 Amazon gift card when you finish the program! It’s super simple: register online for the “Spark a Reaction” program and log each book you read, along with a review that is at least a paragraph long. Log and review three books – the same number you have to read for Windham Public Schools summer reading – and you’ve finished the program. Why not join the program and earn rewards for the books you’re going to read anyways?
