What is the Summer Reading Challenge (SRC)?

A fun way to encourage reading throughout the summer!

To complete the challenge, you must read at least 7 books this summer.
Everyone who finishes the SRC will get a prize bag beginning Monday, August 5.

We’ll also have raffle prizes at the end of SRC! Each week that you log at least one book, you will receive an eTicket that can be entered into the system for any of the prizes you choose! You may enter all different raffles, or all the same, however you want to distribute your tickets. Tickets will be pulled, and winners will be announced at the end of SRC after Sunday, August 18.

Show Your School Spirit!

That’s right! Your participation in the SRC will also be counted towards helping your school win the Emma Cup trophy!

The school that has the highest percentage of children that sign up for AND complete the SRC (each child must read at least 7 books) will have their school’s name engraved on the trophy.

This friendly competition is always a lot of fun each year!

What are the benefits of using the Beanstack program?

Besides acting as an online book log (think of it as a “Fitbit for Reading”), there are other benefits to recording what you’ve read via the website, app, or Alexa, such as weekly book recommendations based on your age, reading level, and interests. You will also be able to view themed guides on topics of interest (ranging from “Let’s Explore Rainbows” to “Stargazing”). When you log the books you’ve read, you will receive colorful electronic badges and earn raffle tickets for the many prizes that can be won this summer.  Kids also have the option to write book reviews and read learning tips for each book selected. If you would like a paper reading log as well, you can print one out: Reading Log.
