Dear CFK/CFKN Parents and Students,
I am so excited about our summer reading challenge! We know that students reading over the summer will limit the dreaded “summer slide.” We wanted to give you a fun way to keep up those reading skills and build some knowledge for your upcoming year.
Here is how it works. Look at the Summer Literacy Bingo Card you received at the end of the year. There are multiple ways for you to engage in reading over the summer. As you complete a box, parents will initial that box. In the fall, you will return your card to your teacher by August 14, 2026. Below is a list of ways you can earn rewards for engaging in this fun summer reading initiative.
5 in a row-Your name entered into a drawing for a $25.00 gift certificate to our Fall Book Fair. There will be a winner from each campus for the gift certificate.
Each additional 5 in a row- Your name will be entered that many times for a drawing for Tales the Literacy Leopard Stuffed Animal. There will be a winner from each campus. (example: 2 sets of 5 in a row= 2 entries, 3 sets=3 entries, etc.)
Whole card complete-You will receive an invite to our Summer Reading Celebration in the fall!
Bingo Cards for each grade level:
Rising 5th Summer Reading Bingo Card
Rising 4th Summer Reading Bingo Card
Rising 3rd Summer Reading Bingo Card
Rising 2nd Summer Reading Bingo Card
Rising 1st Summer Reading Bingo Card
Also, check out the summer reading challenge going on at the Richland County Public Library at https://www.richlandlibrary.com/summer-learning-challenge (Dates are May 30- August 8, 2026)
Reading will take you to all kinds of places, so make sure you keep reading over the summer.
Your Reading Coach,
Mrs. Shivley and Tales too!
