Virtual Summer Reading

Where It Pays To Read

Reading Rewards Program: Where Reading Pays  Off


The Peaches and Sourcream Children’s Foundation (PSCF) is excited to introduce our virtual summer reading rewards program designed to enhance reading  and writing skills and foster reading stamina in children. Here are the program details:


Program Overview:

  • Participants are required to read from Monday through Friday for a dedicated twenty minutes each day.
  • Books will be provided by PSCF's program director, ensuring a wide selection of engaging reading material.
  • Our primary focus is to create enjoyable reading and writing experience for children.

Creating the Perfect Reading Environment: We recommend that parents and individuals working with readers create comfortable reading spaces or nooks to minimize distractions.

Timing Matters: We suggest ending reading sessions before 5 pm to allow time for participants to log in and post summaries. Each well-written summary is worth $1.00.

Summary Writing Guidelines: Participants must write about what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of each story.

Rewards and Benefits:By participating in our program, children can enjoy various benefits:

  1. Reading for pleasure.
  2. Expanding their vocabulary.
  3. Developing comprehension skills.
  4. Enhancing their writing abilities.
  5. The opportunity to earn up to $40.00.
  6. The chance to choose a book of their liking, with PSCF covering the purchase, shipping, and handling costs.

Important Notes:

  • Notification regarding the online orientation will be sent two weeks before the program begins.
  • For any questions or concerns, please contact our program director, Mrs. Robin Muldor-Engram, at 267-683-0899 or robin.muldor@gmail.com.

            For children aged 2 to 7, we encourage parents to engage in a "picture walk" before reading each book aloud. Dear parents, as you read, please move your pointer finger across each word. This will help your child/ren follow along and understand where words begin and end. Afterward, allow your child/ren to illustrate and describe what they believe is happening in the stories. You can then transcribe their thoughts beneath each picture using age-appropriate graphic organizers provided by PSCF.

            For children aged 8 to 11, before they begin writing, parents should read and discuss the book with them to assess comprehension. Once done, let them write independently. If they wish, they can also create illustrations using age-appropriate graphic organizers provided by PSCF.

            This year‘s picture day is scheduled for Monday, June 26, 2023.  Please prep , snap ( waist up) then send pictures of your child/ren wearing  PSCF’s " Bee A Reader" t-shirts by midnight, Sunday, June 25, 2023 @ 267-683-0899/ PSCFSUMMER@gmail.com

            Zoom links will be provided on the morning of each Zoom event. During these  sessions, the children will be engaging in storytelling  based on the 10  titles of that particular week. In these sessions, the children will be encouraged to share their own interpretations of the beginning, middle, and end of each story.

            Please note that any unattended sessions will result in a $2.00 deduction from your child/ren's bankroll.
