Camp Summer Read: How To Create Your Own Summer Reading Camp (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781598844474)

This all-inclusive, how-to book tells you everything you need to know to run your own summer reading camp.

Get students to continue to read during the summer months--and enjoy it! Camp Summer Read: How to Create Your Own Summer Reading Camp is the brainchild of two Texas librarians who have created just such a camp--and have a waiting list of kids who want to attend.

What they offer is a complete, how-to handbook based on their own experiences developing and running a summer reading camp for children. Organized as a checklist, the book is a step-by-step guide that includes everything you need to know to plan and run your own summer reading camp. It includes multiple book lists and read-aloud lists and dozens of book-based activities. It also includes tips on staffing and management and on things as seemingly mundane as assembling the right forms. For those not quite ready to start a camp, the reading activities and ideas presented here can easily be applied in a classroom or home situation.
