Senator Brian Stewart’s Summer Reading Club challenges students in grades 1st to 5th to read eight books during their summer break. Books from local library programs are also acceptable and books with more than 150 pages may count for two books. Once a student finishes reading eight books, please fill out the form and have a parent or guardian verify that the books were read.
Kids who have read at least eight books will be invited to participate in an ice cream party later in the summer at the Union Dairy, and they will be awarded an official certificate from the Illinois Senate recognizing their commitment to reading. Legislative brochures will also be available about state and local programs.
