We do a couple local library summer reading programs. Both our girls still get excited about drawing from the prizes and I try to sway them from the "junk" but not always successfully. The big prize, for anyone that reaches the goal, is either a free entry to the local water park or free food certificates, so it is worth it to us. We also do the state summer reading challenge that the governor puts on.
Last year we did the Barnes & Noble program and received free books. One was Apple Fractions and I can't remember the others.
We have also looked into (at one time or another) the Books-A-Million, Scholastic, Half Price Books, Book-It, Pottery Barn, Sylvan, American Girl, and Amazon reading programs. We haven't participated in any of these yet.
I just figure if they are going to be reading anyway, I may as well do the paperwork and turn it in so they can be rewarded for it.
Oh and don't forget Chuck E. Cheese too - for free tokens.
