I just received some of the new titles for 2006 and I want to tell you about them.
>>> I will start with 1001 Fairies to Spot. This book will keep little girls, ages 6 and up, occupied for hours. Each double page spread is full of things to spot such as strawberry sodas, magic wands, fairies on swings, fairy newspapers and more ~ what fun and so many fairies!!!
>>> The next book is for ages 5 and up; The Castle Jigsaw Book. See what life was like with 6 fun jigsaw puzzles that show cut away pictures to see inside parts of the Castle and how people lived.
>>> I love the Big Book of Picture Puzzles and so will kids 8 years old and up. It is 4 books in 1 with over 4000 things to spot! The Great History Search, The Great World Search, The Great Dinosaur Search and The Great Castle Search ~ a great value!
>>> Children’s Book of Art is for ages 10 and up. Beautiful pictures of some of the greatest works of art. Read about Warhol, Degas, Matisse, O'Keeffe, Monet and more. Read this book with your child and spend good quality time together. Great for Homeschoolers!
>>> Dinosaur Stencil Book is very popular with 13 stencils to draw many awesome dinosaurs. This book will make any child, 4 years old and up, an expert Dinosaur artist!
>>> Who could resist the 123 Jigsaw Book. Count the animals on the giant puzzle train while your child puts the 12 puzzle pieces together. Lots of fun for ages 1 and up.
Well, that is my quick review of some new books on my website www.PlanetSL3.com . These and the rest of the new books for Jan-June 2006 can be seen and purchased on my website.

Another successful Reach For The Stars reading fundraiser for the 5th grade at the Guy E. Rowe School. 17 participants brought in $939 in pledges from their friends and family. 5 completed the 10-10-10 Challenge. What is the 10-10-10 Challenge?? Ask 10 people to sponsor you $10 each and you to read 300 min in 10 days!
Each child receives 50% of their pledge money they collect in Free Books for their home library, 30% goes towards their class trip to Boston and 20% in Free Books - the teacher picks out for his/her classroom.
This is a great reading fundraiser and I love to promote RFTS!

Summer Fun Shows
Take your kids on a summer of fun!
Give your kids some summer fun and "quality time".
Summertime is when the sponges we feed with information all winter goes dry when it comes to swimming and playing sports. Who didn't love their summer vacations??? I certainly did! I became a fish who lived at the beach. I was a swimmer and a state champ at that. Loved tennis, golf & riding my bike.
Summer reading lists seemed to be a bother that I would "catch up on" the last week in August.

Did you know?
Research experts predict that in the new millennium, math and reading illiteracy may impede three-quarters of American adults’ chances to obtain any but the lowest paying jobs.
Experts believe that the biggest obstacle to literacy is the scarcity of books and appropriate reading material.
1998 Reading Report Card found that students with higher reading scores were more likely to report four types of reading materials in their homes – encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, and at least 25 books! – The National Assessment of Educational Programs
The average college graduate earned about 43% more than the average high school graduate in 1980. Today the difference in earnings between the same two workers is over 70%! - Government Accounting Office
If every child were read to daily, from infancy, it would revolutionize education in this country. – U.S. Education Secretary Richard W. Riley

Successes!
Thanks to everyone who has participated!
11 year old Cody was my shining star. This young man first participated in a reading fundraiser that I held with his 5th grade class. He took his challenge to be sponsored to read and ran with it. He collected the most in pledges for his class. The entire class participation was very high and they earned 30% cash or $1,200 plus in cash for their Boston trip this spring. Each child who brought in pledge money received 50% of their pledges in free books for their home and their teachers picked out 20% in books for the classrooms. I love my job! I get to give free books to kids and teachers who are in need of learning tools.
Well, after the fundraiser, Cody was so excited about earning free books that he called me and scheduled a Book Show with me. What an enthusiastic child. He took catalogs to all of his neighbors and friends and within a week, he needed lots more order forms. His mom should be very proud of her son. I know she is. He called everyone the day before to remind them to come see the great books and his turnout of 12 guests the night of his show was tremendous. His show was my best all year! I love it when kids love to read!

A favorite poem
20 Minutes A Day
Read to your children twenty minutes a day;
You have the time, and so do they.
Read while the laundry is in the machine;
Read while the dinner cooks;
Tuck a child in the crook of your arm and reach for the Usborne books.
Hide the remote, let the computer games cool, for one day your children will be off to school;
"Remedial?" "Gifted?" You have the choice;
Let them hear their first tales in the sound of your voice.
Read in the morning; Read over noon; Read by the light of the Goodnight Moon.
Turn the pages together, sitting close as you'll fit.
Till a small voice beside you says,"Hey don't quit."

It's never too early
Raising a Reader...Read to your child 20 minutes a day!
Read aloud from the moment you bring your new baby home from the hospital. Cloth books are wonderful for your youngest reader who needs the soft touch.
The new chunkie books are great ~ Just the right size for little hands to hold and will stand up to punishment.
At 9 months Touchy Feely Books will hold your child's attention with all of the textures to feel and discover.
Give your baby time to look at the pictures, which should be held about eight to ten inches from his/her face.
Teach your children to play in books instead of in front of the TV or video games. This is something that is habit forming at an early age.
Play rhyme, rhythm, and sound games with your child. Look for objects in pictures or around the house that begin with a specific letter of the alphabet.
