Update: Unfortunately, it “sold out” already!
Due to an overwhelming response, the 2024 Camp BOOK IT! summer program is now closed.
Registration live for Summer 2024 as of June 1st. If you were a kid in the 80s and 90s, you may remember the Pizza Hut “Book It!” program that rewarded reading books with free pizza. Well, Camp Book It! is again open to free enrollment for the summer:
All parents with students in PreK-6th grade (ages 4-12) can enroll in Camp BOOK IT!, our reading program created to stop the summer slide. In June, July and August, parents can use our digital tools to track and reward their kids reading with a free one-topping Personal Pan Pizza®.
This program is usually either run directly through schools or restricted to homeschooling parents during the academic school year, but is open to all age-eligible children from Pre-K to 6th grade during the summer. If it works like it did in the past, once you reach 20 days of reading in one calendar month (our goal is 20 minutes per day per child), you complete the goal and a prize code will be emailed to you. The code works online, so it’s easy to order and simply pick it up or add it to an existing order.
Encourage my kids to read books and feed them for me? That’s my kind of deal! The little Personal Pan Pizza rewards are a novelty to our kids, making it feel like a special treat that they earned. We also stack this with the Summer Reading program at our local library, which gives out other small trinkets to help build the “reading for fun” habit. This year we are also stacking with the Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program.
