It’s almost Summertime and State Senator Neil Anderson (R-Andalusia) has a fun way to keep students engaged outside the classroom through his 2025 Summer Reading Program, now open through August 1.
“My Summer Reading Program is designed to allow students the opportunity to read any book of their choice, whenever they choose and get rewarded for doing so,” said Senator Anderson. “It’s important we find activities to keep young minds engaged outside of the classroom.”
The program is open to all students entering 1st through 12th grade, who are invited to read eight books of their choice over the summer. Whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, or biographies—every book counts.
Students who complete the challenge will receive an official certificate of recognition from the Illinois Senate and Senator Anderson’s office.
Parents can register their children by completing a short form at participating local libraries or online at: https://senatorneilanderson.com/summerreading2025/
