The Scholastic Summer Challenge is a free online reading program dedicated to stopping the “Summer Slide” and encouraging kids to read more books this summer. The  Summer Challenge invites kids to log the minutes they spend reading as they Read for the World Record. This is a fun and easy way to have your child read this summer, earning digital rewards and participating in weekly challenges.

Also available for download are age appropriate booklists and a Reading Timer mobile app for timing and tracking reading minutes. You can register your child at: Scholastic Summer Challenge: Parents or I have my class registered and am sending home the usernames/passwords today.  Use this link:  http://www.scholastic.com/ups/campaigns/src-2013
