The BOOK IT! program
is an excellent homeschooling resource!!!
If you haven't heard of Book IT! or you would like more information check out their page HERE. All of the materials for the program are free and are full of suggestions for setting up the reading schedule and how to use the Pizza Hut certificates.
The program is for grades K-6.
Just a side note, I really wanted to enroll my son since he will be starting Kindergarten this year, but there's an age stipulation that the child must be 5 as of Sept. 1, 2012. However, they do have the R.E.D. Zone (read every day), a great resource for younger ages. It has suggested reading lists, free printables, and ideas to "stretch the story".
The BOOK IT! site also has a great summer reading program, which includes a sweepstakes, and ideas to keep your kiddos reading throughout summer break (June 15th- August 15th). While you are there check out their super cool tool to track your reading minutes.
Enrollment for homeschoolers in the 2012-2013 school year is now open and you can sign up your family Here! Never to early to start lesson planning for next school year!!! ;)
Happy Reading!!!!
* Just a note to say I was not compensated in any way or asked to publish this post.... I just love the BOOK IT! program. They strive to keep kids excited about reading.... what's not to love?! ;)
I'm not a homeschooler but my school district participates in this program and my kids love it! They look forward to earning a pizza night from all their hard work in the reading department :) It's truly amazing watching the transformation in a child as they go from tentative readers to confident readers!
