STUDENT MATERIALS
Dear Student & Family:
Greetings from Schlitterbahn Waterpark! Welcome to Schlitterbahn’s Waves of Pages, a reading program designed
to inspire students in grades K-5 to read for fun!
With your help, your child has the opportunity to earn one FREE admission to Schlitterbahn Waterpark Kansas City.
All they need to do is read for 10 hours (600 minutes) during the 10-week program, and they will be awarded a free
admission to the waterpark as well as a special discount offer for your family.
Here’s how it works:
1. You may read to your child, your child may read aloud to you, or your child may read alone. It all counts
toward the 10 hour goal.
2. Time spent reading for school assignments does not count toward the 10-hour goal. Reading anything else
does count, including books, comic books, magazines, newspapers, or online reading.
3. Record the number of minutes your child reads on the attached Reading Log along with the title of their
reading material. You must date and initial each entry to verify that your child completed the reading
sessions. Please use additional sheets of paper, if needed.
4. Reading must be completed by the date on the Reading Log. Your child must turn in all signed Reading Log
to his or her teacher by this date in order to be eligible for the free admission ticket.
Admission tickets are valid May 22-September 7, 2015, excluding Saturdays in July and August at Schlitterbahn
Waterpark Kansas City only.
Please read the Program Guidelines on the last page and contact your teacher if you have any questions about the
Waves of Pages Reading Program. Visit schlitterbahn.com to learn more about the waterpark.
This program serves as a helpful tool to inspire your child become part of a new generation of readers. We hope that
you take part in this exciting program. It’s a great way to motivate your child to read and get ready for a day of family
fun at Schlitterbahn!
Sincerely,
Schlitterbahn Waterpark Kansas City
