Summer Reading Program

Here's a shout-out to Half Price Books. They have a really cool summer reading program for kids. If a child reads 15 minutes a night every night for a week (at least that's what we tell our daughter, it's really only 5 out of 7 nights required) then at the end of the week, Half Price will give the child a $3 gift card. Kids can do it every week until the end of July.

During the school year, my daughter had to read 10 minutes a night, four nights a week. It was a struggle to get her to do it. We'd wondered how hard the fight would be to keep it going during the summer. Now, she's reading more, and she's really motivated to do it. Way to go Half Price Books!
