State representative Jed Davis (R-Yorkville) is launching his 2026 summer reading program. Students from Kindergarten through fifth grade may participate by reading eight or more books before August 14. Books containing more than 150 words count as two books. Students completing the program will receive a certificate recognizing their achievement, along with a voucher for free ice cream.
“As a parent, I know the importance of encouraging students to remain active readers during the summer months,” said Rep. Davis. “I have many fond memories of summer reading as a kid, and I hope this program helps create those same memories for local students.”
After completing their reading, students should submit their forms with a parent or guardian verifying the information. Online forms can be completed by clicking here or by visiting RepJedDavis.com. Paper forms are available at Rep. Davis’ district office, at 1925 S. Bridge Street in Yorkville.
