Build a Bunch of Mega Readers
Build a bunch of Mega Readers at the Cedar Rapids Public Library.
Mega Readers is a program designed specifically for daycares, summer camps, and school groups to encourage daily reading all summer long. It’s fun, free, and easy!
First, get your tracker ready and post it in a visible place for all the kids to see. There are two ways to get started:
Download and print a tracker here.
OR
Contact us and we will deliver a starter kit for you and your kids!
Participation:
Encourage each teacher or group lead to track the reading of their kids.
Color in a space for every 15 minutes of reading.
It’s okay to split the reading into shorter sessions. Just read every day!
Kids can read by themselves, read to each other, or listen to someone read. It all counts!
Books!
When you have completed the challenge of reading 600 minutes, contact the Cedar Rapids Public Library at programming@crlibrary.org to arrange for one free book for each of the children at your center. Available while supplies last.
You’re never too young to be a Mega Reader!
Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers should participate, too. Singing, rhyming, looking at pictures, playing with books, listening to a story…it all helps young children get ready to read.
Completion Certificate
Certificates of completion will be delivered to you for each participating child after completing the program. Contact us at programming@crlibrary.org to arrange for delivery.
