Read (and Write) for Rewards!

This summer, Barnes & Nobel and Texas grocery store chain HEB are offering great rewards for reading.

Barnes & Nobel is offering free books to elementary students who read eight books this summer and record them in the Barnes & Nobel Summer Reading Program, Imagination’s Destination Journal, which can be picked up at any Barnes & Nobel bookstore. After completing the journal, which entails writing the titles of the eight books and a very short recommendation, positive or negative, all you have to do is take your journal to your local Barnes & Nobel bookstore by September 4th and choose a free book from the list printed in the Imagination’s Destination Journal. Not a bad deal!

If you’re a junior high or high school student who likes to read and write, then the HEB Summer of Read. Write. Win. contest may be the challenge for you! Just choose an influential Texan to read about and write an essay explaining why you think he or she has had an impact on Texas. 3 Grand Prizes: $15,000 scholarship – 3 First Prizes: $6,500 scholarship – 7 Honorable Mentions: $1,000 scholarship

So here’s to you! Find yourself a great book and get reading! Enjoy!
