The Schaumburg Boomers baseball team has brought back “Boomers Bookworms,” a reading-incentive program, for the 2016-17 school year, the team said on its website.
The program, which is open to students in grades pre-K through eighth, is used by teachers to set reading goals for their students, with prizes including Boomer-related items.
“Boomers Bookworms” can be customized to each participating school, allowing the schools to integrate it with their already-established reading programs. “Boomers Bookworms” encourages students to do reading outside of the classroom, according to the website.
Participating students will receive prizes, including two tickets to a Boomers game in 2017 and a “Boomers Bookworms” backpack. The game tickets would be good for any game in May or June 2017.
The program began in 2012.
