Getting down and dirty
About 350 adults and 50 kids competed Saturday morning in the Dirty Dozen Mud Run events at Sebring International Raceway. The Dirty Dozen is an endurance obstacle course that chal- lenges participants with 12 different obstacles along the two-mile course set inside SIR. The Half Dozen version features a one-mile course and six fun obstacles for participants 12 and younger.

For Younger Readers (grades K to 6)
Ⅲ Read out loud. Encouraging your children to read aloud will help develop their reading fluency and build their confidence as readers. For example, ask them to read recipe directions as they help you prepare a treat in the kitchen. If they make a mistake, gently point out overlooked letters or words read incorrectly. Ⅲ Let them play. Games and activities played on electronic devices provide many opportunities to engage children with words and letters. Spelling games, word games and matching games can help children build reading proficiency and comprehension. Consider devices with learning games when purchasing a toy for a child. Instead of watching a movie in the car, consider audio books and CDs and DVDs with reading games. Ⅲ Turn them into storytellers. Have your child read a book and then retell the story. If he or she has trouble, help by asking the five Ws: Who, What, Where, When and Why. FAMILY FEATURES Ⅲ Hone their critical thinking skills. Success in reading isn’t just about decoding words, but also about comprehension. Help your children build critical thinking skills by asking them questions, such hen school is out for summer, the last thing many kids want to do is pick up as what they think about something that happens in a story, if they have experienced something like another book. However, reading is one of the most important activities chil- that before, and other questions to help engage them in the story. Also, when they ask you questions, Wdren can do now to help themselves later — both when they go back to answer and then ask a follow-up question. school in the fall, and later in life.

Make an ordinary trip to the public library an adventure for If children don’t engage in educational activities such as reading and math over the your child by selecting a topic to research. For instance, set out to learn everything you can about summer, they can experience summer learning losses. your hometown, animals or space; or set out to answer a specific question. Many libraries also offer “With the majority of U.S. fourth-grade students reading below the proficient level, weekly classes that parents can attend with their child to encourage the love of reading. the summer months are critical for student learning,” said Meredith Curley, Dean of the Simple activities such as these can increase a child’s understanding of sequencing, link reading to real- College of Education at University of Phoenix. “By engaging in fun reading activities world activities, expand their vocabulary and feed their curiosity, all while building their interest in read- during the summer months, parents not only have the opportunity to encourage learning, ing. but to motivate their children to develop a lifelong love of reading.” Choosing Books Curley offers these tips for parents and caregivers to help incorporate reading into A book that is too easy to read doesn’t help kids grow as readers, but books that are too difficult to read everyday activities in ways that will make it fun to keep learning all summer long. can be frustrating and discouraging.

For Tween and Teen Readers While younger children frequently read for fun, the voluntary reading rate tends to drop dramatically as they move through their teen years. A recent National Endowment of the Arts reading study found that while 54 percent of 9-year-olds read for pleasure, the number drops to 30 percent for 13-year-olds, and only 22 percent for 17-year-olds. Curley recommends that you encourage your teen or tween to read by finding activities that engage their unique interests and allow them to assert their own opinions. Here are some ideas to help tweens and teens rediscover the pleasure of reading: Ⅲ Have them write. Teens can submit book reviews to sites such as www.YABooksCentral.com. This is a great way to combine reading, writing and critical thinking skills. Or, encourage them to write fan fiction, putting their own spin on a favorite book or genre, either as a written story or a video script version of a book. Ⅲ Let them check out graphic novels. These aren’t the comic books you might have grown up with. There are some high-quality titles available that deal with a wide range of subjects that will appeal to girls and boys and can be a great way to engage reluctant readers. Ⅲ Look for book-to-film novels. If teens have seen the movie, they might be willing to read the book. If you read it too, then you can talk about the differences between the two versions such as what worked, what didn’t, why the filmmakers might have made certain changes, etc. Ⅲ Find different reading materials. Magazines, newspapers, short stories and online articles can also help build a teen’s reading comprehension and vocabulary skills. If your teen has a particular inter- est, such as cars or sports, consider getting them a magazine subscription. Ⅲ Suggest a book club. Check your local library or bookstore to see if they have teen reading clubs. If not, encourage your teen to start one. They will be able to read what their friends are reading and Summer Reading Lists can then have fun talking about it. In addition to reading lists put together by your local libraries, you can find several good book lists online. Choosing Books There are a lot of middle grade and young adult books available. So many, in fact, it can be overwhelm- Ⅲ Reading Rockets (www.ReadingRockets.org) provides book lists by theme, so if you want to find books about art, monsters, animals or sci- ing.

Let your tween or teen explore the options and read a chapter or two to see what piques their interest. (If they find a series they like, consider buying the rest of the books for them.)

‘Idol’ cuts payouts to runners-up
Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Coming in second on “American Idol” may still be a path to superstardom, but it no longer offers guaranteed paychecks worthy of the next pop idol or rock star. Wednesday night’s “Idol’ runner-up, Jessica Sanchez, doesn’t have a definite shot at producing an album and could be paid as little as $30,000 in advances for recording singles. This, according to the “Idol” con- tract she and other Season 11 contestants signed that was reviewed by The Associated Press. The agreement is the first time in “Idol’s” history that producers are not offering the show’s runner-up an album deal that in previous years had a guaranteed advance of at least $175,000. The move comes amid declining album sales for the recording indus- try and a drop in viewership for the “Idol” show. Representatives for “Idol”refused to comment. Nearly 21 million TV viewers seems like a lot but for an “American Idol” sea- son ender, it’s a new low. The crowd that tuned in Wednesday night when bluesy guitar man Phillip Phillips won the “Idol” crown constituted the small- est for an “Idol” season ender in its history, according to preliminary Nielsen Co. fig- ures. The number was down by nearly one-third from the saw Scotty McCreery’s victo- ry a year ago.
