What’s Book Blast?

Reading has always been considered a solo activity but not anymore.

Book Blast pulls a plot twist on traditional reading initiatives by making reading a shared and social event. Have a kiddo who isn’t naturally drawn to the world of reading? No problem. This hands-on program connects children at every level with age-appropriate, engaging books chosen by our signature Reader Leaders, a highly qualified panel of educators, publishers, and even kids themselves who help us pick the books students really want.

If you’re ready to turn reading into an activity that gets every student excited to read, let’s turn the page.
