About the Summer Reading Club

Are you looking for interesting and stimulating activities to occupy your children during summer vacation? Would you like them to benefit from a program that will maintain and develop their reading skills? How about a fun-filled environment where your children can participate and meet new friends? All you need to do is register your children for the TD Summer Reading Club at your local library.

The TD SRC promotes the fun of reading to young Canadians and encourages them to visit their library during the summer months. The program has a simple, recreational and creative approach that offers children a structured reading environment and rewards their personal achievements. The program fosters the development of the reading habit and helps students retain what they have learned in school. Many studies show that children who do not read during the summer find themselves at risk of falling behind once school begins again. By reading for fun through the summer months, children return to school having maintained or improved their reading skills. If your child doesn't already read for pleasure, this is the perfect time to remind the whole family that reading can be fun.

As soon as your children are registered for the Club, they will each receive a free reading kit illustrated by a well-known children's book artist. The reading kit contains one awesome poster, nine stickers, and a bilingual activity booklet that is chock-full of games and includes a log sheet for recording the books they have read.
