Fun Summer Reading Challenge for Kids

Summer is the perfect time to inspire young readers to explore new stories, build their skills, and keep their minds active with a summer reading challenge for kids. At Owl Post Books, we know that reading shouldn't stop when school lets out—it should become even more exciting! That’s why we’ve created a simple and fun reading challenge that works for all ages and fits perfectly into your summer routine.

Our monthly book boxes for kids are already designed to get children excited about reading, but a reading challenge adds an extra layer of motivation. Kids can track their progress, earn small rewards at home, and feel a sense of accomplishment as they complete each book. From board books for babies to YA fantasy adventures, we have age-appropriate picks for everyone in the family.

The challenge can be as easy or as creative as you want. Encourage your child to read in a new place each week—like under a tree, in a blanket fort, or even outside on a picnic. With each children’s book subscription box, Owl Post Books delivers hand-selected titles that make participating in a summer reading challenge for kids both fun and achievable.

For families looking for a screen-free summer activity, this is a great way to fill downtime with something educational and enjoyable. Many of our customers—especially grandparents and aunts/uncles—purchase a kids’ book subscription box as a summer gift, knowing it will keep their loved ones engaged even from afar. And remember, every Owl Post Books box includes age-appropriate crafts or extras, making the reading experience even more interactive.

If you're already a subscriber, this summer is the perfect time to introduce your child to a challenge that builds strong reading habits. And if you're new to Owl Post Books, now’s a great time to explore our options—from grab bags and gift boxes to full subscriptions. Help your young reader thrive this summer with a challenge that’s just as fun as it is enriching.
