As many of the students continue to cherish their books this summer, I thought I would highlight a few summer reading programs which can give them free books or other incentives since they are already reading.
I hope this is helpful for this summer; happy reading!- The public library always has a great summer reading program. We do get to have a presentation next week on what they have to offer, but otherwise check out their website for more information. Often students can earn books or participate in book events throughout summer.
- Barnes & Noble are offering up their summer reading program as well. This program runs between May 24th and September 6th and any child can sign up. With a kick off event here in Madison on June 2nd, students can pick up their logs and then earn books throughout the summer.
- Half Price books also offers a program from June 1st to July 31st. This program called Feed Your Brain Summer Reading Program offers students a $5 gift card to use at Half Price Books if they read 300 pages.
- Scholastic has a program they call the Summer Challenge. Either educators or parents can register kids and then they can log their minutes of reading. They can then enter to win prizes or do challenges on the Scholastic website.
- Amazon runs a 4-for-3 program where you can purchase 4 books and get the lowest one for free. While this isn't an incentive program it is nice way to get more books.
- The blog, My Frugal Adventures, also has a list of a variety of other reading incentive programs being offered if you are interested.
