Splash Universe Invites Local Students to "Splash Into Reading"!

Splash Universe Water Park Resorts is encouraging local students to Splash Into Reading! What began at the beginning of the school year, and has quickly caught the attention of over 1,200 students, is a program Splash Universe put in place to encourage kids to read and reinforce the importance of reading.

The Splash Into Reading program is dedicated to helping put even more joy into reading and learning to read. Sign-up is aimed toward teachers and parents, and it gives their students and children a special incentive to read at least 500 pages.

So...what's the prize for the lucky kids who meet the mark? Every child who reads at least 500 pages will earn a free one-day water park pass to Splash Universe in Dundee! And for all of those bookworms out there who will read beyond 500 pages...we support you! Just remember, there's only one pass given out per child.

"Reading is the key to success for most students, the Splash Into Reading program is just one more small way for Splash Universe to give some joy to school children," said John Collins, General Manager at Splash Universe Water Park Resort.

How does it work, you ask? It's simple and easy for parents and teachers! All you have to do is click here to sign up your eager readers and they can start the program right away!
