Get ready to inspire your students with the 2026-27 Read to Lead Reading Challenge! This K-12 challenge invites students to explore the lives of literary heroes who show what goal setting and perseverance look like, and who inspire habits that last a lifetime.
More than a reading contest, the challenge builds a love of reading, reinforces Social Emotional Learning outcomes, and advances the LAUSD Read to Lead Literacy Movement. Your library is the heart of it all.
Grade-band challenges for K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 are ready to go, along with flyers, family reading tips, and Sora and LA Public Library resources on the Read to Lead site. Grab them, share them, and let’s get every student reading.
Join one of the 30-minute informational meetings on Zoom to learn more!
