2025 Teachers Reading Challenge

The 2025-26 Teachers Reading Challenge is open to all teachers, librarians, and school staff. Join your school team to accumulate the most points during the competition period (1 Dec to 13 Feb) and win class sets of books from generous publishers, a Writers in Schools local author visit in 2026, or Booksellers Aotearoa vouchers to keep your own reading habit fuelled. Points are averaged across your team's pages read, so it's important to get everyone reading all summer - and reading Aotearoa NZ titles will earn you double points. NOTE: Only books read in the competition period are eligible. Books added earlier will be deleted and points wiped :(
