FREE Books for Kids - Half Price Books

Okay, and the best for last. Half Price Books gives your kids a $3 shopping card for every week they read at least 15 minutes per day. My kids did this last year and got a lot of books. They read every week during the offer period (June 1-July 31) and when they used them on their SUPER CHEAP gently used books they scored big time. BONUS - last year they allowed me to get a card for the baby and track my reading to her so she could score some new sensory board books too!

Check out their program HERE and don't forget this already has started, so get them in to start recording their reading!

Borders - FREE Book for Kids

Okay, so now your kids have read eight books for Barnes & Noble, have them read two more and fill out Borders Double Dog Dare form for their FREE book there. You can download the form, see the books they can chose from and get more details on this FREE book offer HERE.

Barnes and Noble - FREE book for kids

There are several summer reading programs that go on during the summer. First up, Barnes & Noble. Kids just need to either pick up or download and print their reading passport, read eight books this summer, and return the passport to a participating Barnes and Noble for their FREE book. Get your details and passport HERE.
