| Barnes and Noble announced the semantics surrounding its summer reading program yesterday and online giant Amazon announced its new program today. Amazon is betting on kids trying to meet their reading goals by giving them incentives to get lost in an ebook. There are three major elements to the Amazon Summer Reading campaign, the first is The Summer Reading Sweepstakes! To sweeten summer reading even more, students, parents, and teachers can enter for a chance to win 50 Kindle e-readers for their school and keep the fun going all year round. The second focuses on Book Recommendations, with so many books to choose from, how do you decide what to read first? Now students can head on over to the Summer Reading for Kids page for hand-picked recommendations from our knowledgeable book editors. The list includes favorites for kids (and parents) of all ages. Finally, if your child is an aspiring sleuth, they can participate in the Summer Reading Adventure Map! X marks the spot! Students can embark on a reading adventure by printing out a map where they can track books they have read and what date they were completed. Of course, Amazon has curated a number of ebook titles on the main summer reading page with targeted age appropriate material. Most of it is geared towards YA Fiction, but there is lots of kids ages 1-3. Of course, there is the ubiquitous editors’ picks and discounts galore.
