The Air Force Services Child and Youth Program is sponsoring the annual One Page at a Time Program, and the 109th Airlift Wing will once again be joining in. The program is a motivational program where youth read books, document their literary accomplishments, and earn incentives for each level of their literary successes.

The program runs through 9 Mar 2012 and is open to children of 109th AW members ages 5-13 years. The desired outcome of this program is to offer literary enrichment opportunities for youth and to create a passion for reading. Participants select books at their reading level from required reading lists at school, selected by their parents or from a list of 15,000 suggested titles located at www.afyouthprograms.com.

If you would like your child to take part, please e-mail TSgt Catharine Schmidt and we will register your child. You can find the registration/reading log here which needs to be returned to TSgt Schmidt at the end of each month.

HQ AFSVA is offering interim incentives for youth who read a predetermined number of books by 30 Dec 2011 as well as an additional incentive to the 25 youth Air Force-wide who have read the most books by the end of the program. Our office will also be offering monthly incentives to keep your children motivated to read.
