Summer Reading Challenge

Get ready to soak up the sun and read together as a family with The Goddard School Summer Reading Challenge!

How It Works

Whether you’re enjoying a book in your backyard or at the beach, summer reading just hits different. From June 1 to July 31, you and your little one can read one book a week from our list of age-appropriate stories!

  • Sign up to participate and opt in to receive emails every Monday from June 1 to July 31 for your age group that highlights the book of the week and a fun at-home activity to accompany it.
  • Read one book a week for nine weeks.
  • Submit a short form every Friday to show that you read the book.
    • Optional: Include a photo of you and your child reading together!

At the end of the challenge, three families who read all nine books will be randomly selected to win a prize!
