Winter Reading Challenge for Kids – Reading Bingo, Log & Rewards (Ages 5–11)

What you get

Turn the cold, dark months into a cozy reading season. This printable Winter Reading Challenge gives kids a fun reason to pick up a book every day, and gives parents and teachers everything they need to run it at home or in the classroom.

It works with any book: library books, books from home, e-books, audiobooks and read-alouds all count. No book titles or authors are named, and the theme is a simple, non-holiday winter (snowflakes, mittens, penguins and hot cocoa), so it fits every family and every classroom from December to February.

1. Cover + welcome page with how the challenge works, contents and a "which pages for which reader" guide
