  • TD Bank makes reading fun while teaching young people the importance of saving money. We participated in this last year and definitely plan to do it again! My daughter not only was excited to read, she also enjoyed earning money. Win Win in my book!  

If your child is in grades K-5, participating is easy:
-Have your child read 10 books this summer
-Print out the Summer Reading Form
-Write down the names of the books they've read
-Take the form to the nearest TD Bank
**Receive $10 in a new or existing Young Saver account

Now through September 5 - Sign your child up and they log on to keep track of their summer reading minutes to earn digital prizes. There are also tips and videos about summer reading, there are also weekly sweepstakes (on Fridays) that parents can enter on behalf of their readers. Plus reading minutes for schools around the country are tracked, so you can help your school earn bragging rights.

Kids (K-8) read books (7,000 titles to choose from), and then take a short quiz to earn points. The points can then be redeemed for prizes including a three-month subscription to Highlights Magazine and a chocolate bar. Also parents can monitor kids reading with online progress reports and then they redeem points for prizes.

This reading-focused reward program encourages students ages 12 or younger at school or the library to read at least 10 books that they record on their “Bookworm Club” record card.

Once a student completes all 10 books they will earn a free kid’s meal at Applebee’s (when accompanied by an adult making a purchase).
