The iVillage PBS KIDS Summer Reading Community Challenge is Back for the Third Year

Summer Reading Swag Bag

As a PBS Kids VIP (Very Involved Parent) I received the opportunity to host a summer reading party. This was in conjunction with the iVillage PBS KIDS Summer Reading Community Challenge. I was sent summer reading packets for 15 children. I brought packets to all of Eva’s classmates and I also gave some to friends and family. We did not have a party per se but I did give each person a letter explaining the program and all the great resources for parents and kids to help get the kids reading over the summer. Eva has become more and more interested in reading and I think that by participating in this program it will help Eva go into Kindergarten as a strong pre-reader. I hope that the packets help all of her classmates as well.

there were additional items in the party kit including some crayola markers, which I donated to the class, and also a Dr. Seuss hat and many other items which I gave to the classroom. I’m interested in learning how the other parents are getting along with the program and I’ll be providing updates on how Eva and I work together helping her to learn to read. For more information on the programs from PBS and iVillage check out the press release below.

Eva is right on the cusp of learning to read. She is interested in reading and we’ve worked together with different apps, different books and more. She’s smart and wants to get reading and I bet many other kids are excited about learning to read as well. PBS Kids has some fun programs happening this summer to help children and their families get reading. I’m doing the iVillage PBS KIDS Summer Reading Community Challenge and that includes a Summer Reading party with Eva’s class at school. I think they are going to love it.

This coming Tuesday I head to Colorado overnight to the PBS Annual Meeting where I will learn about some upcoming shows and get to meet producers of many of the shows that we already love on PBS. I am really looking forward to this.

Here is a Press Release on all that PBS Kids is doing and their partnerships as well. Continue reading Press Release: PBS KIDS Kicks Off Summer Learning with the SUPER WHY! Around the World Adventure →
