Summer Reading Programs 2011

Summer reading has been proven to help children retain their vocabulary, maintain their decoding skills, and improve their comprehension. Help your children avoid the summer slump by trying a summer reading challenge. There are several national summer reading programs, some of which offer free books, gift cards, prize packages, and even cash. Each program has its own form to fill out, but you might also want to print out a reading log to keep track of your child's reading. Your local library probably has a summer reading program too.

My kids love to read, but a little extra motivation never hurt, so I compiled this big list of summer reading programs for 2011. Check it out!
