<div dir="ltr">At Carlsbad Public Library, we prefer to track reading minutes so everyone can read at a comfortable pace instead of trying to complete a certain number of pages, chapters, or books. Every 15-minute increment earns a ticket (from a roll of tickets we buy at Walmart). We have a prize cart available 2 hours every Wednesday morning so kids can spend their accumulated tickets on the prizes which are most meaningful to them. We have Game Day going on with crafts and board games at the same time so there is more than just one thing to do (picking up prizes). <div><br></div><div>In the past we asked kids to just mark a tally mark for each 15 minutes of reading, and limited the amount of reading time you can claim to 1 hour total per day to prevent the extremely prize-motivated kids from claiming they have read 12 hours in one day, haha. We also don't encourage competition against other readers for a big prize, but we do track the groups' minutes to see how many hours of reading we can build up over the summer. </div><div><br></div><div>We used to have it set up so people could come and pick up prizes any time. This resulted in a lot of wasted staff time. If someone can't come on Wednesdays, they usually let me know and my standard response is that I will accommodate their schedule and let them pick up prizes at a time when they can make it. I usually have just one or two requests to do this the entire summer.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 11:44 AM <<a href="mailto:nmythserv-request@lists.zianet.com">nmythserv-request@lists.zianet.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Send Nmythserv mailing list submissions to<br>

Subject: Youth Services News Summer Reading question<br>

Good morning Youth Services staff!<br>
I received a question this morning that I thought I would put to you all: how do you run the reading component of a Summer Reading Program? Do you track minutes, books, chapters? Do you use a BINGO sheet? Is there a passive component of your program that someone new could possibly implement?<br>
<br>
I know how some of you run it, and those that have shared their materials with me I do share out but I just thought I'd get the conversation going for those that might need some inspiration or are thinking of changing it up a bit.<br>
<br>
Feel free to respond to the listserv so everyone can read the answers!<br>

Good morning! I used a bingo sheet last year. Each square had a different<br>
reading challenge on it (ex. read a book about space) when the kids hit<br>
bingo they got a prize.<br>
