It's that time of year! Most kids are out of school for the summer, but we can still encourage them to read by participating in summer reading programs. Here are a few to get you started!
- Borders Summer Reading Challenge
Borders offers children a chance to earn a free book by keeping a record of books they read. Once your child has read any 10 books of his or her choice, they can choose a free book from a specific list of titles. Open to children aged 12 and under. - 2011 About.com Summer Reading Program
Register your kids for About.com's reading program. The only cost is postage of $1.71; once your children reach 500 pages, send in the forms along with the stamp for $1.71, and your child will receive a certificate of completion and a prize! They even have a list of recommended books for children to browse if they run out of ideas. - Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Program
Encourage your child to read by joining B&N's reading program! Children will earn a free book (chosen from a provided list) by reading 8 books of their choice. What better way to encourage a love of reading than to allow them to earn free books? - HEBuddy Summer Reading Club
