Summer reading programs for kids

My oldest son is a very enthusiastic reader. He loves nothing better than a big pile of books from the library and/or Half Price Books or Value Village.

There are several programs to sign up for this summer that reward kids for reading. Here are a few.

- Barnes and Noble - their rules states grades 1 through 6. Kids must read eight books, write about their favourite part, and then bring a completed list to the store. Children then choose their free book from a list of paperback titles.

- Half Price Books - their program is for ages 10 and under. Yeah! Kids earn a gift card to the store.

Your local library probably has a program as well.

I think we will do the Half Price Books program and the library one.

Scholastic also has a program where for every 4 books your child reads, they will donate one to a needy child.Pin It
