Learning Ally Blog: Access and Achievement

During the dog days of summer, everything slows down. July is HOT and a time for relaxing by the pool! It's also a time to grab a great book, and DIVE into it while you sip lemonade!  To celebrate Summer Reading Together, join us for a FUN Social Media Challenge! Each day during July, simply post a picture of WHERE you read that day. Get creative! You may ear read in a tent, by the pool, while folding laundry or even while going for a walk. It can literally be ANYWHERE! The point is to read, read, read! New England Patriot Malcolm Mitchell from Read with Malcolm is going to be doing the challenge with us, so get ready to tackle summer reading! How to enter: 

• Follow Learning Ally on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter
• Challenge is July 1-31, 2016
• Every day during July, post a pic of WHERE you read that day
• In your post, use the hashtag #SRT16 and tag @Learning_Ally

Make sure to post every day! A prize pack which includes an autographed copy of Malcolm Mitchell's book "The Magician's Hat" will be given to the most frequent poster. If needed, a tie breaker will go to the most creative. You must be based in the US to win, and anyone can enter. (You don't have to be a Learning Ally member.) Join our summer reading program:  We can't wait to see where you're reading! While you're waiting for the challenge to begin, make sure to officially sign up for Summer Reading Together, Learning Ally's unique summer ear reading program! It's special because it's specifically meant for those using audiobooks.
