Summer Stars Reading Adventure
Clare County Library Service will run the Summer Stars Reading Adventure for children in all library branches during the summer from the 3rd of July to the end of August 2017. Summer Stars is an exciting reading-based programme which is available free of charge to children across the country.
We are very happy to work with teachers
and families to encourage children to continue reading and also to participate
in our range of storytelling and other fun activities during the summer.
Each child is invited to register for the adventure at their local library
and enjoy reading many books as part of the adventure during the summer
holidays. All participants will be given a Summer Stars Reading Card
to record and track their own progress and a library reward stamp will
be added to their reading card at the library after each book read. There
will be rewards and incentives along the way. At the end of the adventure,
all children who participate are invited to attend an award event at which
they will be presented with their own Summer Stars certificate.
Children and families will also have access to fun reading activities on the Summer Stars website, www.summerstars.ie The site has lots of online activities as well as a range of animated ebooks. You will find a children’s books discussion board and interviews with well-known people about their favourite books. There are also helpful tips for reading and recommended titles by age group for children to read. The books can then be borrowed from your local library service, and it’s all free.
