I was not 100% happy with the summer reading programs in our area.

They do a good job but I decided I wanted one specific to my boys.

After seeing this post on www.simpleasthatblog.com about making your own reading program, I went for it!

She has free printables but I thought my boys might like to decorate their own log books so I made my own.

The front is really simple, just a place for a name and plenty of room for stickers.

I do not use excel often enough, the inside took me way longer then it should have.

All I did was give them a place to write down their books they have read.

Spiderman was the only superhero we had stickers of.

I was being cheap and not wanting to buy more stickers.

My youngest shocked me when he chose the nature stickers instead of the superhero ones!

I bought two smaller books for halfway prizes (10 books), big books and gummy worms for end prizes (20 books).

My oldest read 10 books the first day.

We went to the library to stock up on more books the next day.

He read 3 books while there…

When we got home he read 7 more.

He read 20 books in two days!

These were all harder books that he has never read before.

It looks like he is taking after me…
