Meet the engine behind the tournament
The Great Reading Tournament is hosted on READ™, our new in-house digital platform built to make reading measurable, adaptive, and fun. READ automatically tracks and logs every minute each participant reads.
Our bilingual library (English/Spanish) is continually growing with kid-appropriate, values-rich content—from classic children favorites to original 311Literacy titles. It includes fiction, nonfiction, and leveled readers so every child can read at the right level and grow at the right pace.
It's easy to participate!
-
As a parent, you can register your child individually, or as a teacher, you can enroll your entire class or school. All participants must be signed up by February 5th to join the tournament.
-
Participants get access to READ™ as soon as their student accounts are created during registration—so they can start exploring books in English and Spanish right away and get familiar with the platform before the tournament begins.
Throughout the tournament, they’ll have full access to the library to read daily, track progress, and discover new stories. After the tournament ends, participants will continue to have access to a limited version of the library, so they can keep reading and enjoying selected titles beyond the competition.
