Even though we went ahead and used our library’s reading program this year, I still decided to do our own like last year.

I take cardstock and let the boys decorate it for log books.

On the inside is a simply numbers and boxes for them to keep track of the books they read.

Then we went to the store and I let them pick out their books for prizes.

One of my oldest books is already gone from this picture because he read all day to earn it.

He could not stand to wait after picking it out!

I really enjoy doing our own program.

This year it was more about keeping up the momentum they had from the library’s program.

She has free printable to make your own reading program!

I know that some people do not live close to a library also so this would be a great alternative!
