Summer is finally here and while that means lots of fun it also means a lot of asking yourself what can I do with my child. Most local libraries offer a summer reading program in which children from ages 1-12 can participate. They sponsor story times and usually prizes for reading. My children always look forward to this every year.The St. George City Library started their summer reading program this week. You sign up and then for every ten books your child reads they get a prize. Prizes are usually in the form of coupons which are redeemable around town for food, treats, or admission to different places. This is a great way to get your kids excited about reading.
Also be sure and check while you are in your local library to see if they have the Governors Reading Challenge packets (Utah only). If so pick one up for each of your children and at the end of the summer mail it in and your child will receive a certificate from the Governor along with a bunch of coupons for free meals at different places. One of these is always a Free Happy Meal at McDonald's.
Call or head into your local library and see what type of program they might be offering.
