FREE Kids Summer Reading Programs

I can't believe that summer is almost here!  Inevitably, summer can turn into a long 3 months for parents, as it can be hard to find things for your kiddos to do.  So, to try & help, here is a BIG list of FREE Summer Reading Programs for kids, thanks to Saving Dollars and Cents!

• Book Adventure:
• Sylvan offers this FREE reading incentive program!
• Your child reads books and then takes a simple comprehension quiz to make sure they understood what they read (about 10 questions long). They earn points based on how much they remember from reading the book.

• Once they have earned enough points they can trade them in for some really neat prizes!
