Bookshare Summer Contest
Bookshare Newsletter - May 2010

Fun AND productive summer activities
Summer is always an exciting time to kick back, have fun, and spend
quality time with the family. In between family vacations, trips to
the zoo, playing
video games, and sitting around the house bored, many parents are also
searching for activities that are not only fun, but also constructive.
Look no further.

Buckle up for summer fun!
This summer, your kids can take a most excellent adventure across the
U.S. 50 states!

The
Bookshare Summer Road Trip Contest
 begins June 1st. Bookshare members in grades K-12 will have the
chance to not only take a virtual road trip across our great country,
but also win awesome
prizes like iPod Nanos, Victor Reader Stream digital book players, and more!

Who can play?
Students in grades K-12 who have an individual Bookshare membership
