State Representative Jackie Haas (R-Kankakee) has announced the launch of her fourth annual summer reading program. Starting today, students from Kindergarten to 5th grade can participate by reading ten or more books before August 5, 2024. Books exceeding 150 pages will count as two books. All students who complete their summer reading will be invited to an ice cream party and certificate ceremony in late summer.

“I am thrilled to offer my annual summer reading program again this year!” said Rep. Haas. “This program is a great way to encourage kids to remain active readers during the summer months, which is critical to ensuring a smooth transition back to school in the fall.”

Upon completing their reading, students can fill out a form and have their parents verify the information. Online forms are available on RepHaas.com, and paper forms can be obtained at Rep. Haas’ district office at 370 E. Court Street in Kankakee.
