What’s Book Blast?

Excitement has a way of catching on. Book Blast is a school-wide literacy program that fuels excitement around reading by turning it into an experience students can share together. The experience is one-of-a-kind. Every student counts down and tears open a wrapped stack of brand-new books, picked by experts just for them. Then comes the fun part!

Imagine kids talking, trading, and comparing favorites as they get lost in the magic of how great reading can be. Even less enthusiastic readers find themselves drawn into the action. After all, a love of reading isn’t taught – it’s caught.
