Overview

The Race into Reading program was developed with the Lansdale Library in conjunction with the North Penn Community Network in an effort to help the youth of Montgomery County develop good communication and reading skills.   One of the goals of this program will be to reward children for developing strong positive attitudes towards reading and learning.    

Getting Started!

Toddlers, preschoolers and school children up to age 12 can earn fun prizes for the amount of time they spend reading independently, or the time they spend listening to an adult read to them.  This program will start September 1, 2009 and run for an entire year ending on August 31,2010.    How to get involved.   Begin by going to NPCNLive.com and clicking on the Race into Reading logo on the right hand side of the page.  All children should start by clicking on the Bronze Level program and print the Bronze Level Worksheet.   Please have the children or the parents fill out the appropriate information that is required on the form.  

Then Start your Reading Engines!!!!!!!!

Once the Racers have completed 10 minutes of reading then they can fill in one block on the Bronze Level worksheet.   The Racers would continue reading until all 40 blocks are filled in and or 400 minutes of reading has been completed.  Once the form is complete then have an adult family member or guardian sign the worksheet to validate that the worksheet has been completed properly.   Then take the worksheet to the Lansdale Library located at:

301 Vine Street   

Lansdale, PA 19446            

Hours: Mon-Fri 10am-9pm

Saturday 10am-3pm

Sunday Closed

                       (*Form must be signed by the librarian before it is handed in.)

Once the Bronze level has been completed and handed in you will receive your reward for completing the Bronze Level Worksheet and you can begin to work the next level—Silver and or Gold.   If you have any questions please call the North Penn Community Network at (215)699-2400.
