Summer Reading Opportunities

There are a lot of summer reading programs out there... Try one of these on for size!

  • Round Rock ISD Beach Blanket Bingo - a bingo board is available for every student in RRISD. Complete one row of five squares (either across, down or diagonal) and receive a Level 1 prize. An X on the board will get you a Level 2 prize, a hollow square (or filling in the squares on the perimeter of the board) will get you a Level 3 prize and a black out (every square) will get you the Level 4 prize - a free book! See Mrs. Hill this summer for a bingo board so you can play!
  • The Round Rock Public Library is now FREE to everyone who lives in Round Rock (that includes Fern Bluff peeps!). They will have free concerts, performers, programs, movies and hands-on fun all summer long. Yes, they will give you a Round Rock doughnut for reading!
  • Half Price Books - read 15 minutes a day for a month in June and July. (Grown-ups may read aloud to kids who are still learning.) Use this reading log, add up your minutes and have your parent or guardian initial each week. Once you’ve reached 300 or more minutes, bring your log to your local HPB to claim your Bookworm Bucks.
  • Barnes and Noble - Read any 4 books and record them in the Reading Journal. Bring the completed Reading Journal to your local B&N store. Choose a FREE BOOK from our selection on the Reading Journal list at the store... Enjoy reading! Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Program
  • Book People - How to get started: Come to Book People to pick up a summer reading bookmark for your age level. (Bookmarks will be available in early June.) You are going to want to hang on to this because it’s also your reading tracking form that you’re going to use all summer and turn back in before school starts. What you get to read: Book People has put together a great list of 6 recommended paperbacks per age group. You get to choose at least three of these recommended books and up to three books of your own choosing –for a total of 6 great books– to read over the summer. How to complete the challenge: Just bring back your filled out bookmark to Book People any time during the summer and you can add your name to ourthe Wall of Summer Reading Stars! You'll also receive your prize, a Book People gift certificate!
