NA Elementary Summer Reading Program

All elementary students (current Kindergarten–Grade 4) are invited to participate in the North Allegheny Elementary Summer Reading Program.

To participate, please follow the guidelines below.

  • Choose activities from one of the Challenge Boards. You may choose either board. As you complete each challenge, color in or mark the square.

  • All students who complete 5 challenges in a row (either across, down, or diagonally) will receive a small prize.

  • All students who complete all challenges will be entered into a raffle to win a special prize.

  • Choose books that you enjoy reading and that you are able to read. You may read your own books, including graphic novels, library books, ebooks, and magazines.

  • Books that someone else reads to you or books that you listen to also count. Remember to read for fun!

  • Return to your building librarian by August 29, 2025 to be eligible for prizes.

Some of the challenges don’t work for you? You can swap them out with one of the extra ideas on the challenge card—or create your own idea for a challenge!
