It's officially week 13 of the 2017 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge! That means there's only a little over one month left to go. (Times does fly!) Let's take a look back at all the fun that's happened this July!
- As of this writing (10:52 am ET), kids have logged 89,655,716 reading minutes!
- The Summer Reading Road Trip wrapped up its travels across the country! Thank you to everyone that stopped by for another amazing year of pop-up reading celebrations! Below, you can check out some social media highlights from some of the stops the RV made at the end of the tour. (Be sure to check back later this week for a FULL recap of just the Scholastic Summer Reading Road Trip!)
