Yipee!!! Today is the official last day of school/work for me and I’m daydreaming of all the fun things I want to do with the kids this summer. As a teacher, I know the importance of reading (I teach Language Arts) daily. I want to make sure that we continue to do that this summer and plan on taking advantage of Barnes & Noble’s Summer Reading Program, Imagination Destination. 

The Summer Reading Program will keep your kiddos reading during the summer, and reward them. All the kiddos have to do is read any 8 books during the summer, record them in this reading journal, bring it to your local Barnes & Noble Store, and choose a free book, from their summer reading selection. How cool is that? Free, motivating and fun!

Also Barnes & Noble stores will have storytime during the week, and our local store has a pajamarama, every Friday evening. You bring the family down, kiddos in their pjs and have a good time. Other stores are offering Saturday summer camp, crafts, and more! You can find your closest B&N store here. For additional info head here.
