Senator Webb launches summer reading program
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Senator Lea Webb is encouraging school-age children to strengthen their reading skills with the return of a summer reading initiative.
Webb launched her Summer Reading Program last week. School aged children from across New York Senate District 52 are invited to participate.
This year's program is themed Color our World: Colorea Nuestro Mundo.
The program is designed to keep children's reading skills sharp during the summer months by making reading a steady habit.
Senator Webb says she supports educational development and hopes to provide an enjoyable and productive activity for students while they are out of school.
'I'm thrilled to launch this year's Summer Reading Program, Color our World: Colorea Nuestro Mundo,' said Webb. 'Reading has the power to open doors, ignite imagination, and connect us across cultures and communities. Through this program, I want to inspire young minds from every corner of Senate District 52 to explore new worlds through books, build their confidence, and celebrate their creativity.'
Children who read three books and submit information about their readings will receive a Certificate of Achievement from Webb. Parents and guardians from across New York State are encouraged to enroll their children in the activity by filling out a short form detailing the books read by their child this summer.
The submission form is available online at The deadline for submission is August 22.
