Summer Reading

In case there's anyone out there near a Half Priced Books or Borders I just wanted to let you know about their summer reading programs.

Half Price Books is jumping on the summer reading program bandwagon with their Feed Your Brain program that runs from June 1-July 31.

Kids age 14 and under can earn a $3 Half Price Books shopping card for each week they read at least 15 minutes a day for 5 days. Just get a reading log at Half Price Books for each child or download and print your own.

At Borders kids ages 12 and under can get a free book this summer through the Borders Summer Reading Double-Dog Dare Program. Just have your child read 10 books of his/her choice and list the titles on the reading program form.

Barnes & Noble is hosting their summer reading program again this year. Kids grades 1-6 who read 8 books over the summer will be able to choose a free book from a select list of titles provided by Barnes & Noble.

I am fanatical about reading and wish there was a summer reading program for me. I will still read and read to Lilyana and participate in these programs for her even though it means a trip to the cities.
