SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — The Schaumburg Boomers have announced the return of the team’s reading incentive program, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, for the 2016-2017 school year. The program, which debuted in 2012, promotes literacy and reading comprehension in children through a partnership with local schools. 

Boomers Bookworms is open to students from Pre-K through 8^th Grade. The program incentivizes and seeks to inspire students to read outside the classroom by rewarding them for reaching specific goals set by their teachers.

Program Overview:

• Students and teachers set classroom/school wide goals for independent reading.
• Participating students receive prizes provided by the Boomers, including two (2) complimentary tickets to a designated 2017 Boomers game, and one (1) Boomers Bookworms String Backpack!
• Customizable to your school – Already have a reading incentive program in place? Boomers Bookworms is a great opportunity to piggyback on that program and offer additional incentives to each student.
• Complimentary tickets are good for any May or June date during the 2017 season.
