It’s time for summer reading. Alongside our diligent reading, we are encouraging the little one in out lives to to be our accountability partners. Once upon a time, summer reading was a bore, a chore and an activity looked down on; we are here to announce reading is getting more and more appealing!
Barnes & Noble
This year the Barnes and Noble summer reading program, Summer Reading Triathlon, gives out a free book to each child who complete 3 reading triathlon activities.
There are many free books to choose from and there’s something for every kid in grades 1-6.
This summer reading program runs May 16 – September 5, 2017.
Half Price Books
READ 15 MINUTES A DAY TO KEEP UP AN APPETITE FOR READING ALL SUMMER LONG.
(Grown-ups may read aloud to kids who are still learning.)
Visit the Feed Your Brain Summer Reading Program website, select the printables category and from there you can open up the Feed Your Brain reading log.
Each day your child reads during June and July have them write the number of minutes they’ve read on that day on the calendar. They can add up the total minutes at the bottom of the calendar.
After the child has read at least 300 minutes, fill out their name, age, and total minutes, as well as your name, email, and location information.
Download and use this reading log, add up your minutes and have your parent or guardian initial each week. Once you’ve reached 300 or more minutes, bring your log to your local HPB to claim your Bookworm Bucks on or before August 31, 2017.
Pottery Barn Kids
Each Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. (Sunday at 10:00 a.m. for the New York City store) there’s a themed summer book club meeting. There’s a book read a loud in addition to special activities based on the theme.
