Keep your girls away from electronics and get them into books to sharpen their reading skills and keep them happily entertained while away from school. American Girl’s Read-a-palooza, a summer reading program created for girls ages 8 to 12, is packed with fun activities and incentives that encourage literacy. Read-a-palooza takes place May 1 to September 3, 2012, and also includes a charitable partnership with Save the Children’s U.S. literacy program.

To participate in Read-a-palooza, girls can visit americangirl.com/reading, where they can download colorful bookmarks and free book-related content, such as tips and materials for starting a book club. They’ll also be able to do reading challenges and take fun, interactive quizzes. Starting in June, girls can participate in Read-a-palooza by visiting an American Girl retail store, where free reading events will be offered all summer long.

To further emphasize the importance of reading and to help a great cause during its Read-a-palooza campaign, American Girl is partnering with Save the Children’s U.S. literacy program. From May 1 through September 3, 2012, $1 of every book purchased through American Girl (up to a maximum of $100,000) will support Save the Children’s efforts to raise literacy rates in impoverished communities by providing basic education and equipping schools and teachers with reading materials. In addition, American Girl will make its third donation of books to Save the Children this fall, bringing the value of the company’s total book donation to nearly $1.5 million.

  1. Thank you for raising awareness of the importance of reading an actual book in young girls! My daughter has always been an avid reader since she was a baby. Hopefully she will keep up with this valuable trait. Thanks again.

  5. My daughter loves American Girl and she is really into being immersed in a book right now. Summer is just around the corner and with school letting out she’s going to have extra time on her hands. What a great way to fill her time and keep her mind active.

    1. With American Girl it’s always a win win! Remember if you want to enter giveaway to send me an email with your name and address.
      Thanks for visiting the blog!

  10. My first grade girl is reading chapter books – these would be great to fill up her summer – she’s an avid reader (just like her mommy)!

  11. I have 3 young granddaughters who love to read. The 9 year old is reading on a level of most 9th graders. She would absolutely love to read these books. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

  12. My 10 year old daughter loves to read. She was asked the other day, “What do you like that most other kids your age don’t?” Her response was “Reading.” I loved it. On top of that, she loves anything to do with American Girl. She even reads some of the American Girl books to her younger sister who is just learning to read.

  13. I would love this for my two daughters for our family road trip this summer. I read American Girl books when I was growing up.

  15. Thanks for the giveaway! My daughter is just learning about American Girl Dolls and would love reading these when she gets a little older.

  16. Our girls love to read. I fear if they win this contest, we might not see them all summer as they’ll lock themselves in their room to escape with their prizes and imaginations. But we’ll take our chances anyway….
