I have found several Summer Reading programs around town that are offering free stuff to those that participate.
One is Half Price Books - Feed Your Brain Program
http://www.halfpricebooks.com/index.html
Read 15 minutes a day for 5 days in one week and receive a $3.00 gift card. You can complete this every week from June 1st to July 31st. This is for ages 12 and under. Both Matthew and Shelby are participating in this. It has motivated both of them to sit down and read each day.
They can't wait to go shopping for their own books.
Barnes and Noble- Summer reading program

Have your child read 8 books this summer and print off the reading journal. Print it off and take it into the store to trade it in for one of the books you can get for free in your age bracket.
This is for schoolage children from 1st grade to 6th grade. Shelby is reading for a Fancy Nancy book!
Borders Summer Reading program

If you are 12 and under, read any 8 books, complete the challenge paper and bring into the store. You can get any of the items on the list for $4.99 (a savings of 50% off or more).
The Scholastic Summer Challenge.

The Scholastic Summer Challenge. This year Scholastic is hoping your kids can set a world record for the number of minutes spent reading during the summer. Kid team up with other kids from their local school to help their school set the summer reading record. The top 20 schools will be featured in the 2010 Scholastic Book of World Records! There are also plenty of drawings for prizes, such as books and SmartyCards.
Chuck E. Cheese

You can never forget the local library. Ours is having another Summer Reading program for all ages.
