Encouraging a lifelong love for reading in kids and teens
Reading Pioneers is a international student-led initiative focused on helping more kids to find their love for reading through free online reading challenges.
Get Started
How it works
Reading Pioneers hosts monthly reading challenges for kids 18 & under where participants have to read any book they want every day for an entire month. If you successfully complete a challenge, you'll receive a free e-book from a genre of your choice!

My daughter didn't really like to read before, but after joining a Reading Pioneers Reading Challenge, she comes home every day and just opens up her book as soon as she can! 10/10 would recommend.
Harrison Marsh
Parent
My friends told me about this reading challenge thing, and I haven't really read for a while now, so I wasn't really sure on it. But getting to participate with my friends is really fun, and also the free ebook is really nice. I'm going to do the challenge next month as well!
James (8th grader)
Student
The reading challenge was so fun and really got me back into reading again. I wish I could keep on doing it.
Ricardo Middleton
Former Student
I wasn't sure how good this program would be for my kindergartener, but it was really easy as a parent to navigate the whole system. He loves the free book that he got from the program - it's been two months now, and he still asks me to read it to him every day!
