What’s New - 7/1/25
We're thrilled to introduce Automatic Challenges—a new way to keep your students reading all year long. We've hand-picked our most popular monthly challenges, such as Hallow-Read or For the Love of Reading, and, by enabling Automatic Challenges, you'll receive a new challenge each month with:
- One-Step Setup: Once the setting is enabled, we’ll auto-publish challenges the month before their start date between the 21st - 28th, and all students and staff will be automatically registered for these challenges.
- New Banners & Badges: Every challenge comes with a banner and 10 ready-made logging badges—no extra design work needed.
- Additional Controls: Want to opt-out of a specific challenge? No problem! You can turn off auto-publishing for specific monthly challenges.
Pro Tip: District administrators can enable this setting at the district level as well to save time for their schools!
