In this blog post, I’m sharing four summer reading programs for 2026 that children can participate in for FREE! Each summer reading program offers children the opportunity to earn prizes or books!
What’s the big deal about summer reading programs?
Unfortunately, many children who do not practice reading and writing skills will experience some learning loss over the summer months. This decline in academic skills is known as the Summer Slide. Just a few minutes of reading each day can help students maintain the gains from the previous school year, catch up, or even grow as a reader.
You can help your child start the school year off with confidence by encouraging them to read consistently over the summer months. Here are FOUR low-effort summer reading programs your child can participate in. Most of these programs offer incentives and prizes, which may motivate your child to read. more!
Use the links below to check out each program’s incentives, dates, rules, and regulations.
