Why Reading Challenges?
When taking part in a reading challenge, participants read an average of 61 minutes a day. Reading challenges motivate readers with badges and prizes for logging reading, completing activities, and submitting book reviews in our user-friendly web and mobile apps. When taking part in a community reading challenge, readers log 46% more minutes. Your school or library staff get an intuitive interface, endless customization options, and instant data.
