Hi, Everyone,

 

Even though your summer reading programs may be winding down, there is one last chance for your community to participate in a national summer reading challenge. Second Lady Usha Vance is offering a certificate, small prize, and chance to visit Washington, DC for children in grades K-8 who read 12 books of their choice between June 1 and September 5. All reading done since June 1 counts, so kids can backfill their reading logs. Here’s how the program works:

  • Families can print off or download this fillable reading log.
  • Fill in the titles and authors of 12 books that a child reads between June 1 and September 5.
  • The logs can been emailed directly to ...@mail.whitehouse.gov" style="color: #2199e8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;" title="mailto:r...@mail.whitehouse.gov">r...@mail.whitehouse.gov by September 5, 2025
  • That’s it!

If you want to promote this program more broadly in your community, check out this page with links to a flyer and social media templates and graphics. You can also learn more about this Challenge here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/read/.

 

 

 All the best,
