Summer Reading 2014

"Few children learn to love books by themselves. Someone has to lure them into the wonderful world of the written word; someone has to show them the way."  - A Father Reads to His Children

Our summer reading program HUNTINGTON READING ADVENTURE is in full swing here at Huntington Learning Center, and we're so proud of all of our students that are participating! We've posted some pictures on Facebook and Twitter of the kids that are signed up, and wanted to take a minute to explain the program.

Kylie just signed up for Summer Reading!

HRA runs from June 9 through September 15 and is aimed at helping students have a sense of accountability for the literary development as well as celebrating their achievements. To join the adventure, a student sets a goal of the number of books they will read over the course of the program. As they finish each book towards their goal, they will fill out a Huntington Reading Adventure Comprehension Card and turn it in. We will display the cards in the center as our way of celebrating each milestone.

We hope that at the end of the adventure, our students will not only have achieved their goal, but discovered or deepened their love of reading. We hope they will explore new worlds, and look forward to even more fantastic journeys in their reading travels.

Good luck to all of our students and happy reading!
