How to play the game:
The rules of the game are simple. Choose any books from your local library or your favorite section of the St. Petersburg Times to read over the summer.
As you read, track your hours by rounding the bases and collect Rays rewards along the way. When you read enough hours to get on first base, ask your parent or guardian to initial your card and bring to your local library. The librarian will sign your card and give you a reading reward. Round the bases by reading a total of 24 hours this summer and receive tickets to a Rays game!
On the back of the card, keep track of your favorite books and articles you read this summer. You can write about what you have read at the St. Petersburg Times NIE Blogging Zone. Log on to blogs.tampabay.com/nie and click on "2009 Reading with the Rays." Or, you can click HERE for a direct link.
