Reading Challenge For Kids: Arlington Heights Library

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — The Winter Reading Challenge is underway, and kids up to sixth grade are invited to take it on. Just pick up your Winter Reading Challenge log at the Kids' World Desk at the Arlington Heights Memorial Highway.

The challenge runs from Monday, Dec. 17 to Sunday, Jan. 27. There are three different categories: age 0 to 4, age 5 to third grade, and fourth to sixth grade. Here's what the library has to say about each group.

Age 0-4

It is never to early to build your child's literacy skills. By starting early, you form the foundation for your child's success later in life. Simple activities involving talking, singing, reading, writing and playing together will help your child. Check off each of the activities you complete. When you have completed ten, bring the log back and select a free book to take home.

Age 5-Grade 3

Determine your own Winter Reading Challenge goal. Whether you keep track of pages, books or time spent reading, use the log to mark your progress. When you are done, come in and select your free book. During the program, drop by the Kids' World Desk to spin our wheel and receive an activity to take home.

Grades 4-6

Challenge yourself to read something new. Pick up a punch card and a token at the Kids' World Desk to get started. Let the Challenge Contraption decide your next book or activity. Complete four challenges to earn a free book!
