I Can Read Book Giveaway
The entertainment is touted as a special treat for reading during the week and the library also gives kids the incentive to write as well by throwing them an “invite-only” party that they can only attend if they’ve completed at least 5 book reports on the books they’ve read over the summer. Upon turning in all 5 reports kids are allowed to pick one free book and also a guaranteed invitation to the big end-of-summer “Splash Party”.
My daughter loves going to the special nights out and many of her friends from school have joined in as well. And she was so excited about the Splash Party that I didn’t even have to remind her to write her reports!
So what about you guys – how do you get your kids to embrace summer reading? If you have a good tips or stories to share, TwitterMoms has a contest going on right now where you can win a free “I CAN READ” book and get featured on the TwitterMoms Reading Channel!
Note: I wrote this blog post while participating in the TwitterMoms blogging program to be eligible to get an “I Can Read!” book. For more information on how you can participate, click here.

So I was thrilled when I learned that the program was not set up for the kids to come to the library and read together in a classroom-type setting or formatted like the usual weekly story time. Instead, the reading is left up to the kids to do on their own time – which is great for us because my daughters and I read at least two or three books together every day. Then, at a weekly meeting, the kids come together for a fun activity night at the library. Sometimes it’s a performance by a magician or singing group and sometimes it’s an organization that provides a fun and educational presentation, such as a visit from a local farm complete with a mini-petting zoo or a science center that plans films or experiments that the kids each can try their hands at…Continue Reading »»» [...]
