FREE Summer Reading Programs

Scholastic’s Summer Challenge: Kids can keep track of their reading minutes by logging in. In return, they can win digital prizes. Kids enter their summer reading minutes online to unlock digital rewards as they complete weekly reading challenges and access book excerpts, videos, and other summer-exclusive content.

Books a Million: Read any four books from the Summer Reading Adventure section in-store or online, write about them in your summer reading adventure log book, and receive a free Dog Man logo baseball cap (while supplies last).

Barnes & Noble Summer Reading: This one requires kids to read eight books an then make a short recommendation on each one. They can then turn in their completed Summer Reading form at a store or online here and choose a free book from this list! Bring the completed journal to a Barnes & Noble store between July 1st and August 31st, 2020

Chuck E Cheese Reading Program. Keep track of your kids book reading with the Chuck E Cheese Rewards Calendars here. Once kids have completed two weeks of reading they can bring the completed form to Chuck E Cheese for 10 FREE game tokens. Find out how you can get more free chuck e cheese tokens  for the kids.

Local Libraries: Be sure to check with your local library to see what sort of summer reading program is offered. A quick search on my local library’s website helped me find out that my library offers tickets to a local water park for participating in the program!
