Reading tracked in any format, including print, electronic, and audio, count toward the goals for each age range. The age-based challenge goals are as follows:
Children, birth to 6th grades: Read or be read to 15 minutes a day for 5 days each week. For every 75 minutes, earn your Winter Reading Badge. Complete 375 minutes to earn a free book.
Teens, Ages 12 to 18: Earn a button for every 75 minutes of reading. Choose a free book when you complete 375 minutes of reading over the five-week challenge.
