HEB Reading Rocks 2012 Summer Reading Program + $20 HEB gift card giveaway!

July 17, 2012 by 13 Comments

One of my favorite things about summer is being able to participate in summer reading programs with my kids.  We have been doing this for several years now and one of our favorite summer reading programs is the HEB Summer Reading Program!  When your kids read 10 books this summer, they can get their own HEB Reading Rocks t-shirt!

HEB was kind enough to send my kids a summer reading package including all of the items pictured above.  My son quickly claimed the t-shirt (which of course led to plenty of drama from my daughter!).  I’ve loved reading the books they sent to my kids and hearing my daughter read them to her younger brother!  The bag has come in handy for our road trips this summer!

If you would like to participate in the HEB Summer reading program, you can print your form here–> HEB 2012 summer reading program 

Read 10 books and submit your form by October 1, 2012, and your child can get their own t-shirt!  If your child is too young to read books on their own, you can read to them!

NOTE:  This program is only available to residents of Texas.

HEB also provided me with a $20 gift card to give away to once lucky winner!

DISCLOSURE:  I received the summer reading package pictured above and a $20 gift card to give away to one of my readers.  All of the opinions expressed in this post are my own.

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
