Reading encouraged throughout summer
“Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader...All Summer Long!” is the message who Brunswick County Schools wants every student to remember as vacation begins.
To encourage reading all summer long, media centers throughout Brunswick County Schools will be open on a set schedule to allow students to check out and return books. Students who participate can win individual prizes, including T-shirts, and help their school win, too. The school with the greatest circulation and online participation in each category will win a $250 e-book credit.
In addition to checking out books, students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of online discussions about what they are reading. Edmodo groups are available for grade 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12...and adult readers. Students should contact their media coordinator to receive the access code and join the conversations.
A special summer reading program is also available for middle and high school students. Booklists and discussion forums are accessible at www.bcswan.net/SummerReading. Each grade level has a suggested reading list, as well as a discussion area for each book.
Don’t forget to visit the public library. The Brunswick County Libraries are also offering summer programs. Contact the public library or visit its website at http://library.brunsco.net.
The complete schedule of school media center openings can be found on the Brunswick County Schools homepage at www.bcswan.net.
