Can you believe it’s almost May?! I’m busy wrapping up our homeschool studies and making plans for summer vacation, but I wanted to give you a quick heads-up on a few time-sensitive specials this week:

Free Kids’ Meals

From now until May 6, kids eat free every day at IHOP between the hours of 4-10 PM, with the purchase of an adult entree. This offer is good nationwide, but it is always a smart idea to call your local restaurant first to make sure they are participating.

For more restaurants where kids eat free, check out our recently updated list — which now includes Corner Bakery (special thanks to a reader named Natalie for letting us know about this offer)!



Rewards for Good Grades

The school year is winding to a close, finals are upon us, and that means it’s report card time again! Many companies offer rewards for good grades: check this list to see if your student qualifies.

Incidentally, homeschoolers are free to participate these programs, as well. All you’ll need is a written grade report. Don’t have one? Try filling in one of our free printable report cards.



Summer Reading Incentives

Keep the rewards coming all summer long with this list of programs where your kids can earn prizes for continuing to read once school lets out. I’ll be updating this list for 2016 in a few weeks, but you can check it the one from last year to get a headstart. Most of these links don’t change from year to year.
