Most public libraries have summer reading programs to incentivize kids to read while they’re on summer break. Major bookstore chains have also added their own programs.

Here’s a few to summer reading programs that offer FREE books for completing an alloted number of books. You can sign your kids up for one, two, or all three. It’s a great way to get your kids off the video games and excited about reading.

Barnes and Noble. If you read 8 books you get one book for FREE. The kids get to keep track on their summer passport. They also have great tips and tricks for parents and a suggestion reading list. Check out their program HERE.

Borders and Waldenbooks. This program requires kids to read 10 books before they receive their FREE book. They have a more limited number of FREE books to choose from, but it’s still a FREE book, so how can you really go wrong. Check out their program HERE.
