Reading with the Rays is a program that encourages students to keep reading throughout the summer. The Rays Baseball Foundation has partnered with the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper in Education program to devise a fun plan that will help keep kids motivated to read over the summer. The libraries in Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco and Pinellas counties play a major role in this program.
The students may pick up a game card at their local library in these counties to participate. Each time they reach a base they return to the library to pick up their prize. When they reach home plate they receive a ticket to a Rays home game! The student needs to read a total of 24 hours to receive all the prizes. Here is a breakdown of hours to each base and the prize:
