Reading Challenge: Student Edition

12 Months 12 Books

The Reading Challenge: Massachusetts Student Edition gives students of all ages a chance to set and meet the goal of reading a book each month in a specific category and to share their experience within their reading community.

How the challenge works (for families):

  • Students and families can choose a book that fits the monthly challenge.

  • Local libraries and independent bookstores are great places to seek recommendations! See if your school, library, bookstore, or other community organization is participating by searching through the Reading Partners list below.

  • Each month, a parent/guardian can fill out a short form to tell us about the book.

  • Mass Center for the Book will run drawings for prizes. Monthly participation determines eligibility.

  • Have fun!

How the challenge works (for organizations):

  • If your school, library, bookstore, or other community organization would like to become a partner, sign up using this form.

  • Promote the challenge to the students in your network.

  • Encourage participating families to fill out a short form every month to tell us about the book.
