Summer Reading Programs Kick Off as School Years End

Schools around the country are getting ready to dismiss for the summer months, but parents don’t have to let the gains their children made during the year slip away. The dreaded phenomenon known as “summer slide” can be thwarted with just a few minutes a day of focused reading. To help parents offer the students reading content that won’t seem like a chore, Barnes and Noble has kicked off its annual summer reading program with a host of titles and incentives. Called Imagination Destination, this year’s program offers parents and teachers the same great tools and tips that they’ve come to rely on. In addition, kids who complete their summer reading logs can bring those in to a local B&N location and receive a free book from a curated list of titles. For parents who want to stay on top of their students’ summer progress, the free NOOKApp is available, which can enable them to be prepared with age-appropriate and grade-level minded titles at a moment’s notice. "Our Summer Reading Program encourages kids and their parents to engage their imaginations all summer long so the learning never ends," said Sarah DiFrancesco, Vice President, Business Development for Barnes & Noble, in a statement. "It's so much fun for a parent to see a child's face light up when they turn in their completed journal sheet and get to choose a free book from the store display. Parents, educators, and librarians love the program, too, because they also want to encourage children to read during the summer months. Add our reading groups, weekly Storytimes, Hands-On Learning events, special promotions and the best lineup of summer skills workbooks, and Barnes & Noble is the best destination for reading fun, learning and savings, all summer long.” To access the free summer reading kit and its activities, visit bn.com/summerreading.
