Summer Reading challenge – FAQs

At Monster Mini Golf, we are committed to being more than just an entertainment venue; we are a partner in childhood development. Research shows that “summer slide”—the loss of academic skills during school break—can significantly impact a student’s progress. By incentivizing literacy with our Monstrous Mix Attraction Combination, we aim to make continued education exciting, helping students return to the classroom with confidence and a sharp mind.

To encourage a love for learning in all its forms, we accept a wide variety of reading materials! Students can choose:

Educational Texts: Science or history books that spark curiosity. As long as the student can identify the Title, Author, and Favorite Character, it counts toward their goal!
Fiction & Non-Fiction: From mystery novels to biographies.
Graphic Novels: Great for visual learners and building narrative comprehension.
Audiobooks: Perfect for developing listening skills during summer road trips.

Our program structure aligns with the goal of proactive continued education. By requiring a 5-book milestone for rewards, we encourage a steady reading pace rather than “cramming.” Additionally, the requirement to identify a “favorite character” promotes reading comprehension and critical thinking, ensuring students are actively engaging with the text rather than just skimming pages.

The process is designed to be seamless for busy parents. Simply visit our official website and fill out the Summer Reading Submission Form.

Grand Prize Entry: If your child reaches the 15-book “Master Reader” tier, they are automatically entered into our $650 Private Birthday Party drawing.
Visit the Library: Keep the momentum going by visiting your local library weekly to find new favorites.
Track as you go: Don’t wait until August 31st! Submit your forms every time your child hits a 5-book milestone so they can enjoy their rewards all summer long.

Absolutely. We believe in rewarding consistent effort. Students can earn one Monstrous Mix for every 5 books read throughout June, July, and August. This tiered reward system keeps students motivated for the duration of the summer, ensuring that “education” stays at the top of their to-do list alongside “fun.”
