    These are just a few of the many options to keep kids reading and prevent "the summer slide".  Check local businesses, such as kids consignment stores, local shops, restaurants, etc. to see if they participate in  summer reading incentive programs. Reading always pays off, but free incentives for summer reading are an added bonus!
