Huntington Learning Center Daphne Launches Reading Adventure Program An “Online” and “In Real Life” Learning Program for Students Huntington Learning Center, the nation’s leading tutoring and test prep provider, launched its annual Reading Adventure, a reading program designed to activate the love of reading and to engage students in stories and imagination outside the classroom. Huntington’s Reading Adventure has traditionally run during the summer months, but in response to the current pandemic, this year’s program began on Wednesday, April 22, with the first “Reading Live” segment on Huntington’s YouTube channel. Reading Adventure gives students the opportunity to read with our fun and interactive activities featuring a variety of online resources to enrich the adventure; and, for the first time, Huntington invites all students to participate -- whether or not the student is enrolled in a Huntington Learning Center program. This year’s Reading Adventure theme is “Anywhere You Want to Go!,” and invites participants to read books from extensive recommended reading lists that will expand their imaginations and help build a love of reading. Students will receive a “reading passport” to fill with stamps as they’re whisked away to outer space, around the world and to different time periods. Huntington of Daphne has expanded its Reading Adventure program to feature additional online resources including “Reading Live,” weekly 30-minute reading sessions targeted to specific age groups. Additionally, readers have the chance to win a gift card each week simply by following #HuntingtonReadingAdventure on social media and posting a quick recap of the book they’re reading. To join the Reading Adventure, contact Huntington of Daphne at 251-621-1055, or fill out the form at https://huntingtonhelps.com/reading-adventure and you will receive a “reading passport” to keep track of your travels.
