Kids & Teens Reading Challenges

Want to earn awesome prizes for reading year-round? Check out our ongoing reading challenges for kids, tweens, and teens! We offer four programs tailored to different age groups to encourage and motivate young readers.

Our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is geared for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers and can be started anytime before a child begins Kindergarten! Re-reads totally count, and the program is self-paced so you can take as little or as long of a time as you need.

Our 200 Books Before Middle School program is made for kids in grades Kindergarten to 5. Prizes are earned for every 50 books read and once again, the program is self-paced. Sign up any time before a child enters sixth grade!

Our 100 Books Before High School program is geared for kids in grades 6 to 8. This program includes a recommended reading list and extra fun prizes, and kids can be signed up at any time before they start high school.

Last but not least, our 100 Books Before Graduation program encourages teens to finish high school strong by reading 100 books. Teens in grades 9 to 12 can sign up to earn prizes as they read, with the goal of completing it before graduating high school.
