In our area (PA), Commerce Bank gives out a summer reading list of 10 books to kids who have accounts there (or whose parents have accounts). If the kids bring the list back with the titles checked, the bank puts $10 in the account.

Target, Pizza Hut, Chili's Restaurant and Grill, and Mimi's Cafe. Do reading programs in California but I dont know if they cover summer programs.

Barnes & Noble is doing something where if a child reads 8 books and writes a summary with a parent signing off on it, they get a free book.
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love.

Looking for more ideas for a summer reading program. Example: Round Table gives out achievement awards for reading and the kids get a certificate and a free personal pizza.
