2009 Free Summer Reading Programs – Prizes; More

While it’s very hard to replace Toledo’s incredible Summer Reading Program! I try my best to participate in as many national programs as possible to keep the girls encouraged to read throughout the fun, flexible, summer months.

I actually had to search our own archives to find some past programs we participated in

Listed below are the Free 2009 Summer Reading Program we started this week:

• Read with Kids Challenge 2009 – Ends June 30, 2009. Monthly and daily prizes given by logging in the number of minutes the parent reads with his/her child(ren). Grand Prize: Disney Vacation!

• 11th Annual Homeschooling Summer Reading Club provided by About Homeschooling Guide- Your child/ren must read 500 pages by August 31 2009.

• The Old Schoolhouse 2nd Annual Summer Reading Splash – Set attainable book reading goals with your child/ren, then keep a reading log for 10-weeks. They have a kick-off coloring contest, due June 16, 2009. They are also hosting a weekly Scavenger Hunt for us to enjoy.

• 2009 Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program – Read any 8 books, fill out the one-page reading journal, and pick one of the available age-appropriate books for free. You can participate twice before September 7, 2009.

• National Amusement Bookworm Wednesday – Fill out the official book report entry form for free admissions to a movie each Wednesday, July 8 – August 12, at 10am. This form includes a parent/guardian as well

• 24/Moms wrote a comprehensive list of additional programs. Unfortunately, we do not have any locations within 50-mile radius for all the ones she has listed that I haven’t listed above, except one; which is not Free:

• Border’s Summer Reading Challenge – Read 8 books, and pick select titles for $4.99, which is at least 50% off its original market price.

• TD Bank Summer Reading (thanks to Freebies4Mom) – Read 10 books, fill out this form, and get $10 deposited into your new or existing Young Savers account.
