I (Laura) loved summer reading programs when I was a child. My dad used to bring me to the library at least once a week so I could pile up another stack of books to bring home. I used to read about a book a day, so programs like this were never a struggle for me!
Your turn: Are your kids big summer readers or not?
About Laura Wales
I also loved summer reading programs as a child at my local public library. I still love to read and hope to pass that love of reading on to my two little girls. One is having surgery in June, with a 4 – 5 month recovery. This will be a great way to get some reading done and at the end enjoy a free book. She has already said she thinks one of the titles of free books is the one she would like to have. She is a first grader and is able to read on her own fairly well so this will be very good for her to keep up and improve her reading skills. My almost four year old loves to be read to and this will be a great program for her as well. Thanks for sharing!
Half Price Books has a great program too! Kids 14 and under can earn a $3 reward for every week they read 15 minutes or more per day. Program is June 1-July 31. My girls loved this program last year as they could buy whatever books they wanted with their weekly returns. Forms can be picked up in the stores and the website is http://www.halfpricebooks.com, ENJOY!
Awesome. My daughter is a vor…, vorashu…ummm…really good reader ;-)
Thanks Laura and Amy!
Barnes & Nobles also has a summer reading program with a free book giveaway. In Washington County, the libraries there have a free book program too.
