Fishing for Books

Get ready to cast your line into a summer full of stories! In the Fishing for Books Summer Reading Challenge, readers will “reel in” their reading time and collect fish as they go. Every time you read, you’ll add another catch to your fishing log and move closer to new fishing levels and prizes.

For every 20 minutes of reading, color in or mark one fish on your log. Reading can include reading independently, reading to someone, listening to a story, or reading with a parent or caregiver. As you collect more fish, you’ll unlock fun fishing-themed rewards and earn entries into the end-of-summer prize drawing.

Along the way, readers can also complete special “Fishing Missions,” such as reading outside, reading a nonfiction book about animals or nature,or reading before bedtime for a week. Each mission earns bonus fish and extra chances for prizes.

Turn in your completed fishing log by the end of the summer to celebrate your reading accomplishments and see if your name is drawn for the grand prize. The more you read, the more fish you catch, and the better your chances of landing the big prize!

Reading logs will be emailed to the adult who registered before June 8 so families can begin tracking their reading throughout the summer. Completed logs must be submitted to communityed@isd700.org by August 17 to be eligible for prizes, and the winners will be drawn on August 18.
