Don’t forget about the summer reading programs that you sign the kids up for this summer! We always pick a few to do during the summer and the kids love tracking their rewards!
There are a lot of local deals as well. I would suggest contacting your local book stores and asking for help finding local reading programs. Also, make sure to call your local library and see what they have to offer as well.
If there is nothing in your area, you can always make up your own book list and rewards!
