I just found out the most interesting thing. Are you aware that Barnes & Noble offers a summer reading program for children?
My oldest son LOVES to read, so this program will be wonderful for him. My youngest doesn't care much for reading, but he needs the practice. This may be a fun way to keep him reading over the summer. Hopefully, by the time he's ready to go back to school, he'll have read his 8 books and earned a free one - it'll take him that long!
Free books are wonderful things! I thought I'd share with all of you, in case you didn't know about this wonderful program. I copied this explanation from the Barnes & Noble website.

Here's How It Works:
1. Kids read any eight (8) books of their own choosing.
2. Kids use the Summer Reading Journal to tell us their favorite part of each book. A parent/guardian signs the journal when it's complete. You can also get a Spanish-language Reading Journal.
3. Children bring their completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble store between May 26th & September 7th, 2009.
4. We'll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.*
* Eligible books will be listed on the coupon. Choices must be made from available stock. No special orders. Limit of one (1) form per school-age child (grades 1-6), please. Incomplete forms will be ineligible for free books.
