As summer begins, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) today announced the launch of the second year of "Brad's Bookworms," a program to encourage reading and learning for elementary-age students and their families.

Children participating in the program are asked to read 10 books with help from parents, grandparents, older siblings, or other family members between today and November 30, 2018 and track their progress toward this goal. Young people who meet the goal of 10 books will be invited with their families to a recognition ceremony with Congressman Schneider in December to celebrate their achievement.

Students are also invited to take part in a contest to design a bookmark, and copies of the winning bookmark will be distributed to all children who complete the reading goal.

Questions? Please call our Lincolnshire Office at (847) 383-4870.

More information about the Brad's Bookworms program, including links to the reading log sheet, bookmark contest template, and parent permission slip, is available on Congressman Schneider's website.
