How to get free books for back-to-school season!

It’s back-to-school season again and that means kids are going to need books for reading at home to help encourage literacy.

Kellogg Company and Scholastic Books are doing their part to help readers at all levels get the material they need without breaking the bank.

Check out this free book promotion

As part of a limited-time promotion, you can get a free Scholastic book when you buy any participating Kellogg's product now through September 30, 2018.

Examples of qualifying products include Eggo waffles, Nutri-Grain bars, Pop Tarts and Cheez-It crackers, to name just a few.

Many popular titles like Goosebumps, Captain Underpants and Clifford the Big Red Dog are available.

Here’s how the promotion works:

1. After you make your purchase, snap a picture of your receipt using your phone. Kellogg has very strict photo submission guidelines. The picture below is for illustrative purposes only.

2. Go to FeedingReading.com and register. If you already happen to be a member of the Kellogg's loyalty program, additional registration won't be necessary.

3. Upload a photo of your receipt. Each additional product you buy gets you one more free book. Limit 10 books per customer.

4. Receive a credit that’s redeemable for a book of your choice online at FeedingReading.com. You must redeem your credit by December 18, 2018 or it becomes invalid.

Keep in mind that fulfillment of your book order may take several weeks.

You’ll find a partial list of titles being offered below. The complete list of available titles can be viewed online after you register.

The key to maximizing this promotion is to buy any qualifying products as cheaply as you possibly can. For example, we bought a 12-ounce box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal for $2.14 before tax.

But when you think about it, paying a couple of bucks here is really a wash — as long as you stick to products you or your family would normally eat!
