Now in its thirteenth year, Barnes & Noble Summer
Reading partners with educators to inspire readers
in the first through sixth grades to earn a free book.
This year we’ve invited the author of the phenomenally
popular Percy Jackson and the Olympians
series, Rick Riordan, to help us—and you—foster a
love of reading and its rewards. - Link
There is also a nice printable free educators kit in this link.

Here's How It Works:

1. Kids read any eight (8) books of their own choosing.

2. Kids use the Summer Reading Journal to tell us their favorite part of each book. A parent/guardian signs the journal when it's complete. You can also get a Spanish-language Reading Journal.

3. Children bring their completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble store between May 26th & September 7th, 2009.

4. We'll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.*

* Eligible books will be listed on the coupon. Choices must be made from available stock. No special orders. Limit of one (1) form per school-age child (grades 1-6), please. Incomplete forms will be ineligible for free books.
