<div dir="ltr">We always had success with doing a little store and children get library dollars to spend by reading books or for the younger ones being read too.. we run three different age groups during the summer birth-kindergarten, 1&2, and 3&4.. the kids
love to save their money to spend in the store and each groups highest reader gets a prize basket at the end of the summer story hour and last story hour we do a little caravel giving away what was left from the store in grab bags or prizes. Plus we get donations
for goodies for a cake walk…</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello all,
<div>This is my first summer reading, and I am trying to figure out what to do for incentives. Families are used to getting little prizes each week, but I know that doesn't promote intrinsic motivation or a passion for reading or learning in kids. I'm considering
moving to weekly take-home craft and science kits along with free books at the beginning, middle, and end of summer for prizes. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What works for your summer reading incentives? Has anyone moved from cheap prizes to something else with success? I only have a couple weeks to submit my budget to Friends, so I'm trying to get all my prizes planned now. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Breanna</div>
