response is pretty quick with ReadSquared, but I’m not sure how much time it would take at this point in the summer to create a site. Please reach out if you are interested. Additionally, I’ve seen gudience in the CSLP Manual, in their “Getting Started” section,
as well as registration forms available to print, if you chose to stick to paper. Details on ReadSquared are as follows:

paper to everyone who came in to sign up, they would then write their name and contact information on the paper and hand it back to us. How do you handle summer reading sign ups? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
