My children love to read and there is nothing better than free books. So all the different summer reading programs are great!
My kids did the Barnes and Noble Reading program, which lets you get a free book after reading 8 books.
Then they did the Borders Reading program, which lets you get a free book after reading 10 books.
Then our local library has a summer reading program. Each time you have read for 5 hours, you get to spin the wheel and choose a prize. To participate in the Barnes and Noble and the Borders programs, you have to be in first grade…so River couldn’t participate in those…but she could participate in the local library’s program. The first time she spun the wheel..she won a great little board book called It’s Useful to Have a Duck. This week when she spun the wheel she got a rubber ducky…and she was just as excited as when she won the book. Quinn also spun the wheel and won a hardback book..so he was very happy also.
Then the kids also participated in TD Bank’s summer reading program, which lets you earn 10 dollars for your savings account after reading 10 books.
So, all in all, they are doing pretty well when it comes to summer reading programs!
