Summer Reading Program Analysis

The summer after seventh grade I volunteered at my local library to assist with the Summer Reading Program. I took part in the program as a child, and I always looked forward to reaching my reading goals and striving to win the highest prize. As I grew older, I wanted the opportunity to influence other young readers.

During the summer, the other volunteers and I encourage participants to continue reading while school is out. We reward them with prizes for each book they read. Bored children often reach for the remote control, however, the program motivates them to pick up a book instead. These kids develop a thirst for knowledge, and seeing their passion for reading has been immensely rewarding. Their resolve to reach their reading goals
