Fantastic Year Long Reading Challenge for Families

Save or Share:

Is your family ready to sprinkle a little fun into your reading this year?

Are you reading to up your game a bit and explore some new titles? Then I have a great solution – the Celebrate a Book Year Long Reading Challenge for Families!

The idea is simple. Each month you’ll receive a monthly reading challenge with four categories. Read one book in each category to complete the challenge for the month. By the end of the year, that’s 4 books a month for 12 months so everyone will read a total of 48 books!

Year Long Reading Challenge

So stick with me here because 48 books can seem like a lot, but the idea is to encourage you to read more often and read something outside of your typical choices.

Making it to 48 books isn’t the ultimate goal because there might be months you just can’t get to every category on the list.

That’s okay.

Just pick it back up the next month and keep prioritizing the categories that are the most intriguing to you!

Year Long Reading Challenge Sign Up

Start by signing up so you’ll receive the monthly challenges and booklists all year long! You’ll receive the current month (and the previous months you might have missed) right away.

Year Long Reading Challenge Basics

Each month, a new reading challenge will be released. Look over the four categories for the new month and begin your search for some great books.

You’ll find booklists on the Monthly Reading Challenge posts (linked below) to help in as you search for great books!

Year Long Reading Challenge Tips

Don’t get discouraged if you can’t read all four books in a month. The goal is to read more even if you don’t get to read 48 books.

Skip a category if it doesn’t interest you at all. Substitute it with a free choice book.

Audiobooks count as reading! Listen to them yourself or pick a title each month to listen to as a family.

It is supposed to be fun, not stressful or another “thing to do”. If you prefer to pick one category each month, then do it! Make it work for you and your family!

Year Long Reading Challenge as a Family

This challenge is for every person in the family who wants to join the fun. The categories are appropriate for early chapter book readers, tweens, teens and adults. You can even find picture books that will fit the bill for your littlest readers.

Everyone can find books on their own level or your family can choose to read a few titles together throughout the year. Audio books are a great option to listen to a title together!
