They have to prove they've actually read each book and participated with it. Depending on age, they can do a written summary or draw a picture of a favorite character or scene, perhaps even make models or write short stories in response to the books they read. We'll have a short form for the kids to fill out when they get started and then we'll have a weekly "turn in" time with some kind of munchies. For each book report or other form of proof turned in, kids accrue points for their school. The school that has the most points at the end of the summer will receive $250 worth of books for its library so tell your schools to spread the word!
