Looking for a fun way to encourage discovery this summer? Our summer reading contest is in full swing! It continues through September 15, 2023.

The first 100 participants receive a gift certificate at the end of the contest and a drawing will be held for three grand prize winners. Below are the contest rules.

Veritas Press Reading Contest Rules

• We ask that you as parents verify what the children have read, and then, after they have met their goals, complete the online entry form.

• Please encourage them to read good literature, not just look for a book that meets the page count criteria.

• Click here to download a reading chart if you would like to track your student’s progress
