My boys are finally at the age where they are starting to read and are interested in picking out their own books. This Summer it going to be all about books for my boys as they both are struggling with Reading in school. To encourage reading I am letting them pick out new books as rewards. I loved going to book stores and libraries as a kid and I hope to instill that on my kids.
Well if you have a Barnes & Noble by you don’t miss out on their Summer Reading Program! All kids have to do is read any eight books and record them in the printable Imagination’s Destination Journal. No long book report, just whom you’d recommend the book for and why! Super simple and motivating! After filling out the journal with the eight books, bring your completed journal to any Barnes & Noble store through September 2, 2014 to pick out a free regular book from a list according to grades. The books are geared towards Grades 1-6 but I don’t see an age minimum or maximum on the form, so check with your local store if your child is outside of those grades.
Seriously this program is so simple and easy, don’t miss out!
