Barnes & Noble's Summer Reading Program is back for 2026, and it's a great free way to encourage reading during the summer months.
Here's how it works:
โ
Kids in grades 1โ6 read any 8 books
โ
Record them in the free Summer Reading Journal
โ
Bring the completed journal to a Barnes & Noble store between July 1 and August 31, 2026
โ
Choose a FREE book from the selection available for their grade level
We've participated in past summers, and it's always fun for kids to earn a new book while building their reading habits.
Details and the printable reading journal can be found here:
If you have children, grandchildren, students, or young readers in your life, feel free to share this resource with them! โ๏ธ๐๐
