Metrics Update for this week:

• Our readers increased to 211,289

• We had 47,029 reading at frequency*

• Pages read by school readers increased by 64% over this time last year!

Happy Summer, and Happy Reading, everyone!

*at frequency = students are reading books multiple times during the school year, with a general target of thirty times (more for lower grades, less for upper grades).  Our data shows that most of these students read for at least 20 minutes each time.
