From A Kid's View with Stephen L. reporting

If you adore reading, like challenges, and even enjoy fun activities that can kill time, this is the proper website for you!

You’ve probably already seen some of those pamphlets with the title plastered on the front. Well, have you ever wondered what it might be? It’s pretty interesting once you get to know it The TD Summer Reading Club is an awesome club in which you can sign up (for free!) and access online books you can read on your device and even fun activities!

If you’re wondering if there’s more than just that, obviously there is You can even track your reading progress and earn cool prizes thanks to the Summer Reading Challenge on Beanstalk which connects with the Reading Club Some of the prizes include a swim pass at the local Paris Community Pool for five hours of reading and even a snazzy new Ice Cream Coupon at yummy Darie Delite for fifteen hours of reading! As a kid who has completed the entire challenge which takes reading for a whopping 24 hours, the prizes I earned are worth it!

All you need to do is create the same account on Beanstalk and then start logging time spent reading, completing activities and adding book

The activities include visiting a jokes corner on the website which consists of a page in which you can read jokes made by kids like you and me! For example, there is one that I found pretty funny by @blackbirdtj saying quote: “Why does the heart keep winning races? Because it’s unbeatable!” It’s pretty enjoyable Well, at least I think so myself!

If you love reading comics, then you might like reading this one that’s also on the website called The Hooman Show written by Canadian author Cyndi Marko. It’s very entertaining, silly, and just downright hilarious! The comic is about Shady Bottom - the star of the show - and the Squirrel Squad consisting of Gripper and Boomer (who are also squirrels) who delve into what the humans - or what they call “Hoomans” in this comicare doing! It’s pretty cool if you think about looking at the everyday lifestyle through another person - or to squirrel in this case! - ‘s eyes!

It is a rad Reading Club after all so they must have some reading tools and/or reading activities, right? Well, you’re in luck! There’s Silly Stories where you can choose a topic, fill in the blanks, and read the story you partially created! There’s a Battle of the Books section where you can vote for your favourite book and help it battle its way to the top (as it says in the Subtitle). There are even Staff

If you have absolutely no idea what an eBook is, eBook stands for Electronic Book which are just books that you can read on your device It is been very popular nowadays with applications such as Libby and Kindle. Basically, you can enter the page (haha, see what I did there?), and choose a book to read! You can even search for it if it’s at your library if you maybe want to read it in person or show it to your friends.

The videos they showcase are also pretty cool because not only are they videos, but they’re also short films that I think you (as the reader) may enjoy… You’re going to have to check them out yourself! There’s also colouring sheets that you can print out and colour, and even Trivia questions that refresh every week so you can always come back for some more and not be bored the next time.

Conclusion: The TD Summer Reading Club is full of fun things to do this summer whether it’s raining outside, and you have nothing to do, or maybe the library’s closed so you have no choice but to read online, or even perhaps you just want to read some jokes to get a little laugh, the Reading Club has everything! Go ahead and try it out, I bet you you’ll enjoy it.
