Money, money, money!
Yes, this last summer reading program in our series encourages children to read and rewards with money.
In 2013, this program had 35,845 participants, who read 358,450 books, and earned a total of $358,450.
Those are impressive numbers. Sorry, parents, this program is for kids.
If your reader is asking for cash and looking for ways to earn more money, then encourage him or her to read and participate in the TD Bank Summer Reading Program [1].
TD Bank Summer Reading Program
Participants
Children in Kindergarten to Grade 5 are encouraged to participate.
Program Length
This program is valid June 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014.
Goal
Encourage children to sharpen their reading and money-saving skills.
Requirements
Read 10 books this summer, print the Summer Reading Form [2], and record the titles read on the form.
Redemption
Take the completed Summer Reading Form to your nearest TD Bank [3].
Reward
Submit your form to receive a $10 deposit [1] into a new or existing Young Saver account.
When children bring in their completed Summer Reading form, TD Bank employees can show them how to fill out the personal savings chart [4] and make their $10 Summer Reading reward grow.
TD Bank Summer Reading Program Benefits
Earning an extra $10 for reading is perfect for current TD Bank customers. For those who do not have an account at TD Bank, the adult will need an account before a Young Saver account is issued.
The Young Saver accounts (where the $10 reward is deposited) are for minors and must be linked to a parent’s account. To open a new account at TD Bank, you will need, at the minimum, your driver’s license, Social Security card, and agree to have a credit check.
If you choose this program, the $10 deposit is a wonderful reward for reading 10 books. Teaching children how to manage money starts when they are young. The TD Bank Summer Reading Program aims to encourage children to read and manage their money well.
We have reached the last summer reading program in our series. With so many options, I trust your family can find a variety of ways to encourage lifelong readers. Some of these programs have changed since 2013, but the opportunities for reading and earning awards abound.
In using time wisely, keep one reading list and use that list for multiple programs. More on that topic is coming tomorrow. Happy summer reading!
