DD has not slowed down much. She is still reading approximately 2-3 hours a day depending on the day. After finishing our library's reading club (4x 12 hours), we did travel over to a nearby library to also finish their bubble sheet (which was actually circles divided into pie pieces but also equaling 12 hours of reading in the end.) She has also gone through three specially made reading clubs. I make them a little harder. They were each 20 hours long. The one she is on now is 75 hours long. She has also just read on her own while in between bubble sheets.
I have not yet completed any other kind of reading club for her. I did find a really nice reading list for K-3rd graders put out by the NEH. I plan on printing out this list and having her complete it (by filling in bubbles!) DD has already read half of them, but these are all great books, and she could stand to read them again and again. There is a 4th-6th grade list I'd like to work through as well. She just really seems to like the idea of being made to read right now. I'd definitely like to see her weened off these bubble sheets. I'm hoping by summer's end she will lose interests in them but keep on reading.
Also, Pottery Barn kids has a very simple reading club, and I think the prize is a free book. And, MENSA has a summer reading list that pulls from the NEH recommendations.
Here is the list from NEH:
