Winter Reading 2022: Read for a Better World
Online Reading Challenge for All Ages!
January 1st-31st

Winter Reading 2022 encourages readers of all ages to explore diversity, empathy, and action through literature. Our community has unlimited access to Lerner Publisher’s “Read for a Better World” themed ebooks for the month of January through this challenge’s activities!

To complete the challenge read a total of four hours or more by the end of January! Reading to someone or being read to counts too! Earn new Read for a Better World virtual badges!

Make sure you log every single minute you spend reading, no matter what you read - books, ebooks, graphic novels, comics, audiobooks, and magazines all count. Logging reading is easy using our reading challenge website or app!

Everyone who registers receives a packet of hot chocolate mix!
