Teen Summer Reading Program

Every insect family on the form represents 60 minutes of reading time.  Every time you complete 60 minutes of reading simply “collect” one of the insects for your summer insect collection by putting a check mark in the box next to the insect family name.  Each insect counts as one chance at a prize.  You can “collect” up to 10 insects for up to 10 chances at great prizes (see prizes below).  We will collect this sheet when it is completed.  Sheets must be turned in by no later than August 16.  Prizes will be picked the week of August 18.
