Our family has been enjoying the slower pace of summer. One of our favorite things to do is to read. Because we still have a young one who naps everyday we all have a quiet hour in the afternoon to read and rest. It is a great time to get some good reading time indoors when it's really hot outside. We also picked up a few books on tape to take with us while we are traveling in the car. They kids really have liked this and it makes the travel go by faster. The great thing about summer is there is many reading incentive programs to help sweeten the reading experience.
1. Every public library I know of has a summer reading program with fun prizes and give-a-ways. Check for details at your nearest library. Our library even has an adult program.
2. Utah Governors Reading Program. (last year we got free meals to McDonald's, and Chuck-a-Rama mailed to us after the summer program was complete) The goal is to read 20 minutes a day.
3. Utah State Fair 2012 Read and Win Program-The Program is for children ages 6-12 years and they need to completely read 10 books to qualify for a Free admission to the State Fair. They also get a free ride, and lemonade.
If you know of any other reading programs. Please post them in comments to share with others. OK lets find a good book and read today!
