Reading with the Rays
Another part of our partnership that we love is Reading with the Rays, a program that keeps kids reading all summer long.
During the summer, kids download their game card by visiting raysbaseball.com/reading and start reading! The rules of the game are simple. Pick up your favorite books from home, explore your local library’s website, or read anything you desire. As you read, track your hours by rounding the bases. When you get to each base have your parent or guardian initial your card to track your progress.
The goal is 24 total hours of reading. Hit a home run by reading for 24 hours and you can receive Reading with the Rays prizes!
To date there has been more than 300,000 participants from nine of the counties we serve. That’s 2.5 million reading hours! In 2020 there were over 40,000 participates that had an awesome virtual experience. We are so proud of all of the participants and can't wait to see how many readers we get in the summer of 2021!
