Would you like it if your students…
— Regularly read nonfiction (and “informational” texts) this summer?
— Made their own choices about what to read from a huge variety of topics?
— Stayed informed about current events?
— Wrote short, personal responses about the pieces that interested them most?
— Had a weekly chance to win a contest and have their writing featured on our blog?
If so, look no further, since from June 15 to Aug. 17, we’ll be running our third annual New York Times summer reading contest, and that’s exactly what the contest encourages.

Please spread the word: We’d love to see this contest on every school’s summer reading list!
