Our Flagship Summer Reading Rewards Program
PSCF's flagship program is thoughtfully designed to challenge children while making learning meaningful and fun! With encouragement and family support, young readers strengthen comprehension, expand vocabulary, improve writing skills, and learn to think independently. Through group discussions and sharing their thoughts aloud, children also gain confidence, learn to express their ideas clearly, and strengthen their communication skills.

Family Testimonials
Hear from parents and children whose reading experiences have been enriched through PSCF. Their stories reflect the joy, confidence, and connections that books can bring to families.
Reading Rewards
At PSCF, we believe children's reading efforts deserve recognition! Our Summer Reading Rewards Program rewards children $1 for each completed book summary, up to 20 books and $20 in total rewards. Children keep all their books to build their very own home libraries, while video contests and back-to- school footwear provide additional incentives to celebrate literacy through creativity and achievement.
Our Impact
PSCF may be a small foundation, but we're intentional about making a meaningful difference! For eight years, we've impacted more than 2,500 lives by focusing on quality over quantity. Rather than simply distributing books, we invest in each child's reading experience through personal attention, family involvement, and measurable progress. For us, success isn't just about how many children we reach, but how well we serve them.

#1 Online Family- Based Program
Why is our Summer Reading Rewards Program so Impactful ?
While numerous organizations distribute books to millions of children, distribution alone is not enough. Access does not guarantee engagement. That’s why the Peaches and Sourcream Children’s Foundation was established: to actively combat the -school - to prison and foster care -to prison pipelines by not only providing books but also fostering a culture of literacy through our innovative summer reading program.
Our approach is both simple and impactful—returning to the basics: parents read with their children, assist them in writing summaries, and celebrate their efforts with meaningful rewards. This is where PSCF makes a difference. We recruit families, purchase books, guide them through the reading and writing process, and provide monetary incentives over a four-week period. Research shows that forming a habit requires consistent practice for approximately 18 days, and our program is built with that science in mind.
Our ultimate goal is to transform reading from a mandatory academic requirement into a joyful, sustainable family tradition.
