The Lansdowne Public Library offers an eight week Summer Reading Challenge for children through age 18.

The benefits of our summer reading challenge include: Keeping your mind sharp to help avoid the “summer slide.”

Encouraging a habit of reading

It’s fun!

Summer Reading Challenge

Jun 16-Aug 8

Experiment and Explore Early Literacy! It's a summer reading challenge for our youngest library friends!

Each week we will focus on one of the pre-reading skills and explore them

through fun activities. Grab a log each week to keep track of your progress.

At the completion of the program children will earn a prize.

The six skills are Print motivation - or liking books - means children will want to learn

to read.

Phonological awareness - helps children sound out written words.

Vocabulary - helps children recognize written words and under-

stand what they read.

Narrative skills - helps children develop thinking and comprehension

skills.

Print awareness - helps children feel comfortable with books and

understand that print is useful.

Letter knowledge - helps children figure out how to sound

out words.
