Kids of all ages will enjoy reading whatever books they want at their own pace and winning some great prizes along the way. Our 2020 theme is Reading Is Sweet, and we know you'll all enjoy this delicious program! We have two ways for kids to get involved - either through printed trackers, or our online app!
