If you are looking for a fun and rewarding summer reading program this summer for your kids, then check out this list of options below:

Barnes and Noble Summer Reading: earn a free book between May 22 and September 4 when you read 8 books.

Chuck E. Cheese – Earn 10 FREE tokens every time your child reads for 2 weeks in a row.  Just fill out the form and bring it in to claim your free token.

Half Price Book Feed Your Brain: Kids ages 14 and under can earn Half Price Back-to-School Books bucks for each month they read 300 minutes or more.

H-E-Buddy: H-E-B Grocery Stores will send your kids a package of cool prizes after they read 10 books. You do not need to live near a H-E-B grocery store to take advantage of this.  Just fill out the form and mail it in. The package arrives in 3-4 weeks.

Showcase Theatre Bookworm Wednesdays: Kid earn free admission to a movie just by reading and completing a short book report

PBS Kids Summer Reading Challenge – This challenge kicks off on June 6th and includes a FREE six week reading program and the chance for your kids to win daily prizes for their participation.

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!
