With less than two weeks away from our annual "Last Day, Hooray!" celebration, my kids and I are already making tentative summertime plans. While we are penciling in many bucket list items, one annual activity always gets written in WITH INK, making it a permanent "TO DO" on our list of fun.
The library's summer reading incentive program
This year, the national collaborative theme is FIZZ, BOOM, READ. However, our local library has opted to do their own thing by creating a pet theme instead.
I'm sure the pet activities and prizes will more than excite my animal-lovin' crew, but just in case, there are plenty more summertime reading incentive programs I can look into for a PLAN B.
Here are 10 more national reading programs worth checkin' out!
Imagination's Destination at Barnes & Noble - Read any 8 books and record them on a summer reading journal. Bring the journal into your local Barnes & Noble to choose a free book from their reading list.
Book Adventure's by Sylvan Learning - Read a book, take a simple quiz, and earn prizes! Easy-peasy!
