<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello YAPers! I wanted to share some information with you on behalf of <a href="https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism-checker">Grammerly</a> and International Literacy Day. I didn't know there was such a thing, but apparently, there is! If we can do our part to spread the word about reading, then the YAP is glad to help. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, take a look at <a href="http://www.firstbook.org/get-involved">Firstbook</a> and <a href="http://www.rif.org/">RIF</a> for more information, or to support these causes. And more than anything else, read, read, read!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It seems like only yesterday, I was posting about the end of the 2014-2015 school year. And now, the 2015-2016 school year is here! I hope you all enjoyed your </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">summer break, and did lots of reading to beat the summer slump. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello YAP parents and children! Can you believe February is almost over? I certainly can't. If you are looking for a new book this Black History Month, I highly recommend <a href="http://us.macmillan.com/28days/charlesrsmithjr">28 DAYS; MOMENTS IN BLACK HISTORY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD</a>. There is a new person to read about every day of the month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For those who entered Eifrig Publishing's </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.eifrigpublishing.com/young-authors.html">RoAR/YACK</a> writing contest, the deadline was December 31, 2014, so good luck!</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Until next time, keep reading and writing, writing, writing away! Oh yeah, don't forget the <span style="color: blue;"><b>YAP</b></span> motto... "Anything is possible, as long as you believe!"</span></div>

In just a few weeks, school will be back in session for Charlotte students. If you're looking for something to do, write a letter to a friend who moved away or a family member in another state. And you can always, always, always read a good book! Only one week left before the <a href="http://www.cmlibrary.org/">Charlotte Mecklenburg Library's</a> annual summer reading program is over. They've got lots of prizes if you reach your reading goal!<br />
<br />
Until next time, keep reading and/or writing, writing, writing away! Oh yeah, don't forget the <span style="color: blue;"><b>YAP</b></span> motto..."Anything is possible, as long as you believe!"<br />

By now, your summer is in full swing. Maybe you're in camp, away visiting family in another city or state, or keeping busy with a great summer read. No matter what it is you're doing this summer, have lots of fun. For those who are open to trying something new, check out your favorite book on audio. I'm sure your local library has audio books on CD or for download via phone or other mobile device, with your parents permission, of course. <br />
<br />
If you're in
Charlotte, make sure you sign up for the <a href="http://www.cmlibrary.org/">Charlotte Mecklenburg Library's</a> annual summer reading program. They've got lots of fun prizes if you reach your reading goal!<br />

In September. I always loved that song, especially when I was kid and ready for summer break. While we're still a month away from the last day of school, today was our last YAP session of 2012-2013. However, that doesn't mean it's time to stop reading and writing. If you're in Charlotte, make sure you sign up for the <a href="http://www.cmlibrary.org/">Charlotte Mecklenburg Library's</a> annual summer reading program. They've got lots of fun prizes if you reach your reading goal!<br />
