DOGObooks.com Announces its First Annual Summer Reading Program
With the help of its Children’s Book Publisher partners, DOGObooks has assembled a catalog of 84 popular titles of books for grades 3-8. By reading and posting 3 reviews of 25 words or more on DOGObooks kids will receive their choice of a free book from a prize catalog made up of over 100 of the selected frontlist and backlist titles from the leaders in children’s publishing. In addition, Better World Books is also awarding a 20% coupon for reviewers plus a prize of 200 books for the top ten schools with the most reviews.
A dedicated area on DOGObooks.com will host the Summer Reading and Review Program. A simple signup form with a drop down menu of grammar and middle schools, plus write-ins has been developed. Kids will be able to keep track of their progress and see which books are most popular as reviews and as prizes.
DOGObooks is also partnering with education and industry leaders including: the Children’s Book Council, Edmodo, Wikispaces, Edublogs, Learning.com, OCLC and Better World Books to make educators, librarians and children aware of the program.
