This summer our frozen yogurt place had a Summer Reading Program for the kids..as long as they were reading independently they were able to participate. For every 500 pages a kid read they earned a $5 Blue Palm Frozen Yogurt coupon.
It was finally some incentive for Ashlyn, who isn't crazy about reading, to sort of get into a few books this summer. She discovered a new series - "Judy Moody", and finished book #9 yesterday before handing in her reading sheet. She also read a few "Ivy and Bean" books. Her page count was 2,281 pages! That earned her 4 gift cards, but the guy was nice and gave her a 5th one since she was past half way to the next card...that is $25 of free frozen yogurt! Neither one of them can stop talking about all the toppings they are going to put on it.
Blake read the newest Kingdom Keeper book, quite a few Artemis Fowl books and a Fabelhaven one....his total page count was 3,601! He earned 7 gift cards for $35 of free frozen yogurt! I swear this is the MEANEST reading reward they could've come up with since I can't eat any thing cold while undergoing chemo and ice cream/frozen yogurt is my most FAVORITE thing...at least it got them motivated to get lots of reading done this summer, which was HUGE for Ashlyn. I guess that deserves a "Thank You" to Blue Palm.

I better come visit to help them use up those gift cards. Especially since you can't help them.
