Kids 2016 Summer Reading Program with Rewards

By Michelle Do, Publisher of Macaroni Pomona & Montclair June 18, 2016
During the summer break, beside keeping my kids busy with fun active activities, I also engage them in learning without pressure.  Summer Reading Programs are a big hit for my family.  My boys love the reward that comes with the reading programs. It's their motivation to continue reading and learning. 

Below are some Summer Reading Programs I have enrolled my children in.  I hope your kids have as much fun as my kids did.
