So I've rounded up all the reading clubs kiddos can join for free this summer to encourage my young readers to turn off technology and sit down with a good book. Because, in my opinion, there is truly nothing like a good book to take you on an adventure!
1. Pizza Hut Book It Program
Kids in grades K-6 can earn a free personal pan pizza and a sticker every month for reading! (This program runs year round)
2. Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Club
Kids can complete the free reading log (linked above) and bring the completed journal to a Barnes & Noble store to earn a free book from a pre-selected list.
3. Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge
This year, kids can build their avatar, make new friends, earn virtual rewards, and help unlock donations for kids with limited or no access to books by starting and keeping “reading streaks” in Scholastic Home Base when they read every day over the summer!
4. Amazon Summer Reading Sweepstakes
Read every day for a chance to win some great prizes from Amazon!
5. Free Weekly Audiobooks for Teens!
Teens ages 13 and up can snag a new free audiobook every week to listen to (while doing chores, right?!). Score!
6. Summer Reading Challenge with the Arlington Public Library
Complete weekly challenges for a chance to win prize packs from the Arlington libraries (ages 13-17)! Kids 0-12 can earn a free book at the end of the program.
7. Half Price Books Feed Your Brain
