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.

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!

The reading challenge was so fun and really got me back into reading again. I wish I could keep on doing it.

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!
