Start Your Year of Reading!

---

The new year is the perfect time to help your young readers start new reading habits and goals. Whether they’re a budding bookworm, or just starting out their reading adventure, setting goals can make reading even more enjoyable and rewarding. Make 2025 the year of reading with these reading resolutions!

Read for Fun, Not Just for School

Reading doesn’t have to be just for homework. Find books your young reader will enjoy, and look forward to reading when they have free time.

Start Your Own Reading Challenge

Aim for a certain number of books to read each month, or your goal to read before the year ends. Up for a Winter challenge? Download and print our Winter Reading Challenge to track your progress for the season!

Take it up a notch‒download and print our Winter Word Search. Try to find the words on the activity sheet AND in the books you read!

Explore New Genres

Encourage your young readers to step out of their reading comfort zones by introducing new genres. Suggest a new fantasy, or a non-fiction book that you think may spark an interest.

Set a Family Reading Goal

Challenge yourself with your own reading goals, or join your young readers on theirs. Reading aloud and reading together helps build fluency, expand vocabularies, and support a life-long love of reading!

Start or Join a Book Club

Get together with friends or family members to read the same book, and set aside time to have discussions. You can share your book review, and learn a different point of view of reading the book.
