Any child in 1st through 6th grade can sign up at Books Are GEMS. We will keep track of how many books you read during the summer.
When you sign up, we will give you everything you need:
- Reading Log: This will let you record the titles you have read and tell us a little about the books. Once you finish your books, you can come in to the store and choose more used books--even if it's the same month (Parents will need sign off on every book to verify completion)!
- Record card: This will help you keep track of the number of books you are reading. Each time you fill up your reading card, bring it in to the store to receive an EXTRA new book (All cards must be in by Saturday, August 12)! You can start anytime during the summer.
- The more you read, the more stars you will earn (1st-2nd 30 pages=1 star) (3rd-6th 100 pages=1 star)!
- We will host an end of summer celebration on Saturday, August 19th. Gifts will be awarded to all who participate and special recognition for the top readers!
