Who can participate in Summer Reading?
Everyone! The Read & Bead Club is open to ages 3 to grade 6. Babies and toddlers not yet in Kindergarten can join 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. Teens can join the Team Reading Challenge. Adults can join Book Bingo.
How do I start?
First, register online by visiting our Beanstack program. Be sure you have a grown-up's permission to sign up.
How do the beads work?
Kids read and record their minutes (or have a grown-up help them track time) then they turn those minutes into beads of varying colors, shapes, and designs to decorate and personalize their very own necklace. Each minute read can count towards a bead you will earn. This year we have a Read and Bead Order Form to help you select your beads while you #StayHome.
How do I use the Read & Bead Order Form? How often can I fill it out?
Our Read & Bead Order Form can be found here. You can order your brag tag and any beads you need. We ask that you please limit yourself to completing a form once per week. There will be no trading this year so be sure you know what you want before you submit a form. You can even wait to order if you want to save up for a bigger bead!

Pembroke Public Schools Summer Reading
Keep up with education and imagination all summer long to limit the effects of the "summer slide." The summer slide is a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session. Numerous studies show that kids who don’t read during summer vacation actually slip in reading ability by the time autumn rolls around.
Pembroke High School Students: Visit PHS's Summer Reading page to review reading and assignment requirements for your upcoming grade and/or classes.
Pembroke Community Middle School Students: Rising 7th and 8th grade students are expected to select at least one of the books from the Summer Reading Book List and Summer Reading Assignment offered for their grade.
Elementary Students: A leveled, suggested reading list is available for all students; this resource was created as a collaboration between the local schools, library, and other national educators. Students also have access to LexiaCore5, an online reading skills program. Visit the Elementary Summer Reading page for the schools for login information.
All Pembroke Public School Students may visit the Summer Learning Page for elementary, middle, and high school students with resources, activities, and links to engage children and teens in math, writing, reading, coding, and more throughout the summer.
