Summer Reading Program at Barnes and Noble

Have your child do the summer reading program at Barnes and Noble and they can earn a free book! Visit the website for more details, downloadable journal and activities.

Here's How It Works:

1. Kids read any eight (8) books of their own choosing.

2. Kids use the Summer Reading Journal to tell us their favorite part of each book. A parent/guardian signs the journal when it's complete. You can also get a Spanish-language Reading Journal.

3. Children bring their completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble store between May 26th & September 7th, 2009.

4. We'll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.*

* Eligible books will be listed on the coupon. Choices must be made from available stock. No special orders. Limit of one (1) form per school-age child (grades 1-6), please. Incomplete forms will be ineligible for free books.

Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Program

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

This info has been oon PYP for awhile. I thought I would post it here in case anyone could use it.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a free book program for kids from birth to 5 years old. This is a free gift that can be given to children residing in a predetermined zip code, school district, town, county, or even an entire state.

Dolly wanted to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families. She wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could insure that every child would have books, regardless of their family’s income.So she decided to mail a brand new, age appropriate book each month to every child under 5 in Sevier County.

With the arrival of every child’s first book, the classic The Little Engine That Could ™, every child could now experience the joy of finding their very own book in their mail box. These moments continue each month until the child turns 5—and in their very last month in the program they receive Look Out Kindergarten Here I Come.
