But it sounds like this library put most of the financial support in the party that everybody who read 10 books gets an invitation for, and just some left over money to acknowledge the kid who reads the most books.

The participation to the club by reading 10 books gets most of the financial support. But they also decided to give a small prize to the kid who reads the most books. I still don't see why kids who haven't found the joy of reading would want to join a "summer reading club" unless their parents made them join, and you still haven't explained why they, who as you put it are slow readers, would be put off by knowing that they can't get the 'read most books' prize.
