Six Flags Read to Succeed
This is my kids favorite reading program! Who wouldn’t say yes to a free Six Flags ticket? Read to Succeed is an exciting program that encourages students in grades K through 6 to read for fun. Students who complete six hours of recreational reading earn a free ticket to Six Flags! The program is available to teachers and schools at no cost to participate, and it’s a great way to motivate kids to read.
There are many other reading programs out there I’m sure — these are just a few of our favorites. What about you? Do you have a favorite summer reading program for your kids?
This is great! My oldest son loves to read, and is always excited about new books!
I didn’t realize there were so many reading programs, I’m so excited! Our kiddos love to read! Thanks for sharing!
These are great! My kiddos are kdg and younger and LOVE the summer reading program. I’m going to check the rest of these out, thank you!
These are so great!! We’re planning on getting much more involved in programs like this for the summer!
Our grandson is still quite young but is so mad about books we are always having to take him to the library. They have all improved so much over the past few years that he never gets tired of going to take part in the activities and the reading days. Great to have a love of books instilled in them.
I had no idea there were so many summer reading programs! I will definitely have to get my daughter enrolled in a few of these. She loves to read.
