HEB Summer Program

I found another great summer reading incentive. HEB is giving away a free tshirt when you read 10 books! Just fill out this form and mail it in. You will receive your shirt in 3-4 weeks. My kids just love this Buddy Bucks, don't yours? What a fun prize!

Summer Reading = Free Books

I wanted to share a few reading programs that I have found. What a fun reward for reading!


Barnes and Noble has a program that requires you to read any 8 books of your choosing and then select a free book from a list of books. All you have to do is print and fill out their "Passport to Summer Reading" form and take it in to the store. If your child is anything like mine, this will only take a couple of days. This offer ends 9/7/10.


Borders wants to Double-Dog Dare you to read 10 books this summer. Read 10 books of your choice and bring in your Double-Dog Dare form and receive a free book! There are 10 great selections to choose from listed on their website.


Half Price Books has a Feed Your Brain program that runs June 1 until July 31. Kids can earn a $3 shopping credit for each week they read at least 15 minutes per day!


There are reading programs at your local library. I know San Marcos, Kyle, and Buda libraries are all doing a reading incentive programs. I will give more details soon.
I am excited to get reading, and getting free books doesn't hurt either!

Welcome!

I am getting very excited for summer! We have lots of fun plans, and I am very glad that I will have Collin home again for a while. Collin has really been gaining speed with his reading. I love to hear him read and improve every day. Over the summer I don't want to lose what he has learned. We have set a couple fun reading goals. Goal #1 is Collin will read 100 books. Goal #2 is Collin will have 100 books read to him, 20 of which will be chapter books that either I read to him or that he listens to on CD. Our local library has a great selection of books on CD, and it's a great quiet time activity for Collin to do while I am busy. I think that this is actually a pretty easy goal considering every week we go to the library we get 20 books, and we read them all multiple times. Collin is very excited to say the he has read 100 books. I will be posting reviews of the books that we read. I am looking for lots of input too! What books do your children like to read? I am looking for some great books to read to boys. Let's share some fun books with each other and keep our kids reading this summer. Our official start date is June 4th.
