Pick your challenge
Choose the themed challenge that fits each reader: states, the Middle Ages, first words for toddlers.
Books at their level
Each theme offers vetted picks at multiple reading levels (and the list keeps growing). You set the level, not just the grade—so a second-grader reading at a first-grade level gets first-grade books, and your high-schooler and first-grader can read across the USA together, each at their own level.
Log it and celebrate
Log each book with a tap. Your kids work toward rewards you set (pizza night, late bedtime, a bookstore trip), and we tell you when they're close.
Themed Challenges, Not Chore Charts
Built around the way kids fall in love with reading—through curiosity. Every grade has its own focus, and 36 weekly themes inside.
“...The reading challenge really helps inspire my nonreader to see how many books she can read in a year.”
