Pottery Barn Kids- Receive a free gift when your child completes their reading challenge
Scholastic Summer Challenge: Offers a chance for kids to log their reading times into their system to compete for the World Record!
Sylvan: Sylvan Reading Adventure is ongoing, so it’s not specifically a summer program, but it’s worth mentioning if it will get your kids motivated. Reading Adventure lists books to read, and when kids take short quizzes about the books, they earn points. The points can then be traded for small prizes, like temporary tattoos or eBook downloads.
TD Bank: Young readers can earn a $10 deposit after they read 10 books.
Also, check with your Local Libraries for any summer reading programs they themselves might be having or for them to direct you to more local summer reading programs!
