Other summer reading options: 

  • Barnes and Nobel (from their website): Participation is a fun and easy way for kids to earn free books. They simply read a designated number of books – library books, books borrowed from friends or books bought at Barnes & Noble – write about their favorite part in our Reading Journal, and bring a completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble bookstore. Children then choose their free book from the books listed on the Reading Journal and collect their free book from a store near them during July and August. 
  • Scholastic Summer Reading Home Base- From May 9th through September 12th, kids can visit the summer zone in Scholastic Home Base, a completely free digital destination which offers stories, characters, games, and a community of readers. Home Base is moderated for safety 24/7.
  • Books-a-Million Summer Reading Adventure (closest location in Kissimmee or Leesburg) If you have students who are into the Wings of Fire series, this summer reading challenge is for them. Kids read all six WOF books and complete the log book. Then they bring it in to a Books-a-Million store for a free hat (while supplies last).
