Power Up & Read – Scholastic Giveaway


By Kenda -

This post is brought to you by Scholastic and Energizer, sponsors of the 2015 Summer Reading Challenge

This summer we had a blast with reading both at home and on the go with the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge. The theme is “Power Up & Read,” powered by Energizer® and we definitely powered up our imagination and learning. We had tons of new books to help us explore new topics, places and people. 

He loves to stay outside, so I bring our favorite @scholasticinc books with us #summerreading #ad

We logged our minutes read each day and participated in mini challenges on the Scholastic website to earn badges. It’s been going on all summer, but there’s still time for you to participate! Sign up for the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge 

 

Little E did his first electrical experiment :) he couldn’t believe he made the lightbulb work all by himself. This Magic School Bus kit from @scholasticinc is awesome paired with our #SummerReading #ad A photo posted by Kenda Smith (@kendasmith) on

Now in its 9th year, the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge is a free online reading program dedicated to stopping the “summer slide” by encouraging kids to read throughout the summer months when school is out. We had a bit of the ‘slide’ last year, but this year we had plenty of activities and reading time. It made such a difference.

The challenge this year is sponsored by Energizer® and we had so much fun building our electricity circuit kit with Energizer® batteries and guided by the Magic School bus! No matter where we went, it was easy to bring along Scholastic books (and our Energizer® Bunny!) to keep us both entertained and our minds exploring. We read in the car, at the store and even on a boat!

In an effort to log as many minutes as possible through the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge AND to break the world record for summer reading, Scholastic is setting special weekly goals for young readers. Every Monday we’ll be announcing a #MondayMinutesGoal, the number of minutes for kids to read together in one week (by the following Monday).

Whether your child or student is reading independently aloud or together with you, let’s share their success and keep the momentum going! Here’s how:

–          Have your child log his/her minutes on the SRC website or on a paper log/piece of paper

–          Take a picture of him/her proudly displaying their minutes

–          Share it on social using #MondayMinutesGoal and #SummerReading!
