Junior Grange Activities - Reading Across America

Purpose: We would like to encourage our Juniors to appreciate and enjoy reading. There are many forms of reading: reading for information, reading for pleasure, and some Juniors may say because I was told I had to for school. As Leaders and State Directors, we know the value of reading and just how important it is in our daily lives. Let’s share with our Juniors the joy of reading.

Junior Grange Activity

  • January-September 2008.
  • Read one book, one magazine, one newspaper, and one food product label ( example: box of cereal, canned soup, candy bar wrapper) .
  • Bring all four of the above to your Junior Grange meeting. This could be all at once or as you read them. Then share one thing you liked or learned about what you read.
  • Goal: to appreciate the many different ways we read and why it is important to read.
  • Awards: Juniors that complete the project will receive a certificate and a special Junior Grange bookmark.

Camp Activity

  • Bring a book to read at camp and pass it on.
  • Each Junior that comes to camp would bring a book to read at bedtime during camp. At the end of camp all of the books would be collected and given to a community agency that could utilize the books.

Note: If you are doing this as a camp program, make sure you talk to your Junior Leader in order not to overlap this program in their Junior Grange. Also, I will mail certificates and bookmarks in advance of the camp if you send me a list of those that have participated after the camp.
