For kids ages 2–rising 6th graders

Every 20 minutes you read or each picture book that is read to you earns you a star. Then, every 3 stars (1 hour of reading or 3 picture books) earns you a bead! When you’ve completed 15 stars, you’ll also get a special bonus bead.

Any kind of reading is good reading! Books do not have to come from the library. No matter their age, we encourage reading aloud to children, listening to audiobooks or podcasts, reading in any language, and choosing any type of book or magazine, including comics.
