White House Summer Reading Challenge: A Fun Way to Inspire Young Readers!

Summer is here, and with it comes an exciting opportunity for young readers across the country! The White House Summer Reading Challenge, led by Second Lady Usha Vance, is encouraging children in grades K-8 to dive into books and discover the joy of reading.

This initiative is designed to foster a love of literature while keeping young minds engaged during the summer months. Participating is simple—children just need to read 12 books of their choice between June 1 and September 5 and submit their completed form to receive a personalized certificate and a small prize.

But that’s not all! Those who complete the challenge will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to visit the Nation’s Capital with a chaperone, making this an unforgettable experience for lucky winners.

Reading is one of the most powerful tools for learning and growth, and this challenge is a wonderful way to encourage children to explore new stories, expand their knowledge, and develop a lifelong love of books.

Parents, educators, and community leaders—let’s spread the word and inspire young readers to take part in this exciting initiative!
