Adventures in reading are only a mouse-click away for parents and teachers looking for a free and easy program that provides motivation for kids to read.Book Adventureª, a free online reading incentive program, turns a computer into an educational and motivational tool. Unlike computer games that often go nowhere, Book Adventure uses interactive technology to lead students back to the library.
At www.bookadventure.org, students (K-8) create personalized book lists from 4,000 recommended titles, read the books at home or school, then return to Book Adventure to take quizzes and earn prizes for reading success. Book Adventure is a powerful resource for parents and teachers to encourage strong reading habits and track children's progress. In less than a year, almost 180,000 people have registered on Book Adventure and more than 630,000 quizzes have been taken!
Book Adventure is kicking off its second National Book Bonanza Contest. Two grand-prize readers will win a trip to the Nation's Capital! Students must register with a parent, guardian or teacher and start reading to win this and other Book Bonanza prizes. The contest ends May 12, 2000.
Book Adventure was created and initially funded by the Sylvan Learning Foundation. Please visit www.bookadventure.org for more information. (NAPSI)
