Be well read and qualify for gifts, raffles and prizes with Braille Institute’s May and summer reading challenges for youth and adults. It all starts May 1, for our Youth Patrons, and June 10, for our Adult Patrons.
YOUTH Reading Challenge Program
Your challenge is to read for 20 minutes every day for the month of May. The challenge is from Friday, May 1–Sunday, May 31. See the details in this Library Reading Challenge Flyer PDF.
Online & App Reading Log
We will be using READsquared to log reading. You can download the app for Android or Apple or you can access online at brailleinstitute/readsquared.com You must register online to use the app. To log your reading, you click the “Log Reading” button, type how many minutes you read, what book, and the author. You can track your reading log by clicking on “History.” When prompted to “find your library or school…” type “Braille Institute.”
Document Reading-Log Option
If you are unable to access READsquared, you can use this Youth Reading Log. Next to each day write how many minutes you read and what book. An adult must add their full name next to the entry to verify. Any adult in the household can verify reading logs.
Youth Challenge Prizes
Students who complete the challenge and read for 20 minutes a day for all 31 days in May will receive a to-be-determined gift card!
