Reading challenges are a great way to encourage more reading from kids or to challenge yourself to find more time to read. And this adorable Puppy-themed 30 Day Reading Challenge Printable is just what you need to help you keep track of your reading progress!
30 Day Reading Challenge Printable
Whether you’re challenging yourself to read for 30 minutes a night, 30 days of short stories, or to finish 30 chapter books in 30 days, this printable will help keep you motivated and accountable. Start on the first of the month or at any time you choose and simple color in one of the books, in numerical order, after each day of reading.
If you’re looking for new reading material, I love being a member of Kindle Unlimited and they’re offering a free 30 day trial!
Ways to Use the 30 Day Reading Challenge
The best part of this printable is how flexible it is. A few ways we’ve used it:
- For early readers: color in a book for every 10–15 minutes of reading together
- For independent readers: one book colored in per chapter book, or per day of reading
- For summer or school breaks: a simple way to fight the “summer slide” and keep kids reading
- For the whole family: print one for each kid (and yourself!) and see who finishes first
Tips to Help Kids Stick With It
Building a reading habit is easier when it’s low-pressure and fun. What’s worked in our house:
- Pick a consistent time – right before bed is a favorite
- Let kids choose their own books, even if it’s the same one five nights in a row
- Keep the challenge somewhere visible, like the fridge, so coloring in each book feels like a win
- Plan a little reward at the end – a trip to the library, a new book, or a movie night based on a book they read
