H-E-B Buddy Summer Reading Club
Read ten books and record them on your reading log (have an adult initial by the title so you get credit for reading). Once the log is complete, mail the form in and be rewarded with a special t‑shirt.

Often local libraries also host programs, so make sure you check with them to see what they have to offer!  It’s a great way to keep your child motivated to read during the summer!
