As families pack bags for road trips and rides in the sky, JetBlue is encouraging kids to pack books for their cross country adventures or even for their trips to the backyard. JetBlue has launched “Soar with Reading” a reading program with partner PBS KIDS. The program aims to keep children reading wherever they go this summer – with a combination of in-flight and online literacy resources, community reading events and a partnership with First Book, a nonprofit organization that provides new books to children in need.
The campaign includes the following:
- At the center of the program is the newly launched SoarwithReading.com, where parents can download a free reading activity kit, create a summer reading list and log their children’s reading minutes, among other activities
- For every reader who registers on SoarwithReading.com, JetBlue will make a book donation to a child through First Book, up to 10,000 books.
- This summer, Jet Blue is also sending crew members out to volunteer at kid-friendly events at local libraries all across the country. These global guides will read books to children, share stories about their job and their exciting travel adventures.
- Child passengers will also receive activity kits on JetBlue flights as well!
Additionally, the campaign supports public libraries. At SoarwithReading.com families can vote for their favorite library in the Soar with Reading Sweepstakes. The winning library will receive $10,000 worth of children’s books courtesy of Jet Blue and Random House Children’s Books. And if you enter the winning library, you will have a chance to win a trip to Atlantis!

We don’t travel that much, 2 or 3 times a year, but when we go, it’s far: across the country or to Europe. I definitely need things to amuse LO, and I think she’s old enough for her own backpack now!

I love this. I think kids should read more. Today with so much technology, the younger generations are losing love for books. My nieces can get bored when we travel but they love to read. This would be really good for them.
