I am all about finding free things to do in the summer. Books and libraries are a HUGE part of our summer plans. I have a firm belief that reading is a key part of succeeding in school.
My kids are signed up for all sorts of free classes at the public libraries (books clubs, art classes, computer programming, etc).
We also love to read... and there are so many programs out there to help kids earn free stuff.
Free Food
For those in the Twin Cities I found out that the Twin Cities Public Television has teamed up with Dairy Queen. Check out the details at tpt.org/dq. Reading will get them a free 12 oz blizzard.
Book Stores
I have also found programs at the big name book stores.
Barnes and Noble- read 8 books and get 1 free
Borders Books or Waldenbooks- '10 Summer Reading. Double Dog Dare Challenge: read 10 books get one free.
Half Price Books- They have a program called Feed Your Brain and you can earn weekly $3 gift certificates for reading 15 minutes, 5 times a week.
Anyone else know of any other deals? I found a link talking about a program at Cub Foods that will reward readers with Twins gear but I couldn't find any specific details.
Update: Pizza Hut -Book It! Read 5 books and enter to win a pretty cool gift bag. Check out this link to find out more.
