Summer reading program supported by First Lady – Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear has joined with the Kentucky Department of Education in supporting the Kentucky Public Libraries’ Summer Reading Programs. This year’s themes are “Dream Big” (early literacy and children) and “Own the Night” (teens). A letter to parents from Mrs. Beshear will be sent to schools in May encouraging families to support reading throughout the summer months. Watch and share a brief video from Mrs. Beshear at http://tinyurl.com/summerreadingkyvideo.
Teachers and parents are encouraged to help children use “Find a Book, Kentucky” (http://www.lexile.com/fab/ky) to build personal reading lists for summer reading and then locate their selections at their school libraries or local public libraries. “Find a Book, Kentucky” uses the widely-adopted Lexile® measure to match a reader with books that will provide the right level of challenge to support reading growth. School librarians and public librarians are ready to assist children and their parents as they make summer reading selections.
A new feature this year is encouragement from the Kentucky Department of Education to students to “Pledge to Read” during the summer on the “Find a Book, Kentucky” site. Look for the “Submit your summer reading pledge” icon to indicate participation.
Find more information on the Kentucky Department of Education’s “Summer Reading” Web page: http://tinyurl.com/KYSummerReading. Each school’s certified school librarian has additional resources to promote Summer Reading Programs.

We had a blast at the AR sleepover… I wish I’d gotten more pictures, but I’m pretty sure you can tell by just these few that we had a great time!
