Summer Reading Program for Child Care Providers


JOIN THE IMCPL SUMMER READING PROGRAM – Reading books = Brain
Food!


Preschool teachers, you’re invited to join us for the Library’s 91st FREE Summer
Reading Program - Read to Feed! Check out this program & great “reads” from June 7
– July 31, 2010


PRESCHOOL/DAY CARE PARTICIPATION MADE EASY!
As a preschool teacher, you play an invaluable role in a child’s first steps to learning how
to read. Reading aloud and talking to children enriches their imagination & vocabulary
in critical ways. Registering your class in the summer reading program is an easy way to
build the love of reading.

Registration:
Beginning in early June, visit your local Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library
branch or Bookmobile to sign up your class and yourself. Each teacher who will be
reading aloud to children needs to register individually. As a thank-you gift for
registering and reading aloud to your class, you will receive a White Castle coupon.

Point Card:
Upon registration you will receive one Group Point Card for your entire class.
Bring the point card every time you return books to the Library or Bookmobile for your
class to receive reading points.


Earn Prizes!
Your class can accumulate up to 400 points. All children in a class will earn the same
prize at the same time. Three prizes will be available for the children at the following
point levels:
1 Playtime Dough………….. 100 points
1 Glitter ball ………… 200 points
1 Paperback Book for each child……..…300 points
1 Classroom Book ………………………400 points*
*At 400 points, the teacher chooses a Children’s Paperback Book, for classroom use.
(Limit one per class.)

SCHOOL-AGE SUMMER CAMPS
Summer campers who read independently may participate as well by filling out
individual registration forms and earning up to 600 points to spend on prizes. Summer
Camp leaders may join the program and earn points for reading aloud to the campers in
their care. Camp leaders who are 18 years or older may only earn points for reading
aloud to children.
