The program challenges students entering 1st through 12th grade to read eight books before July 31st.
“Reading is one of the best habits students can build, and summer gives them a great chance to explore books they enjoy,” Senator Arellano said. “Reading changed my own life as a young student, and so I am proud to encourage our students across the 37th District by offering this opportunity to challenge themselves this summer.”
Senator Arellano is encouraging students to visit their local libraries and track their progress throughout the summer. After completing all eight books, students can fill out a short online form to officially complete the challenge.
Students who complete the Summer Reading Program will receive an official certificate of recognition from the Illinois Senate.
Students who complete all eight books can fill out the official completion form here:
