The Goal

Hi! We're delighted that you have decided to check out the Sensory Gang Summer Reading Program.

The goal of the program is to help keep kids engaged over the summer and to help them begin to understand and appreciate their differences and the differences of those around them, as well as be able to apply practical knowledge from the selected books in their homes and classrooms.

The program is designed for early elementary, elementary, middle school and high school students, and runs June-August. By participating, students will have the opportunity to read a selection of books that cover a range of topics related to autism spectrum disorders.

Your Reward

We have also provided a log for keeping track of the books that the child completes. For early elementary and elementary students, submit the completed reading log at the end of the program with at least one photo of the child with his/her craft project or favorite book to receive a certificate of completion, AAPC Team Gear and a $25 AAPC gift certificate. For middle school and high school students, students should submit a completed reading log with at least two book reports to receive a certificate, AAPC Team Gear and a $25 AAPC gift certificate.

The Books

We have chosen titles that are entertaining but also practical resources for everyday life. In addition, for our younger readers, we have accompanied our book selections with craft activities and coloring pages and discussion questions so they can immerse themselves in the message of the book and take away a tangible product. For our older readers, we have accompanied books with discussion topics/questions as a way to open up dialogue about what they have read.

Your Stories

We'd love to hear from you through the summer to see how things are going. Please feel free to e-mail us at summerreading@asperger.net to show us your projects and tell us what you think about the books! We may even choose your photo to be displayed on our web site or in our Spring 2009 catalog!
