Becket Athenaeum Reading Program
available year-round

How It Works:


Parent/Guardian:

  1. Register your reader(s) below

  2. Work with your reader to determine ambitious and achievable reading goals, increasing gradually throughout the program.

  3. Provide your reader with a reading log and assist in tracking their progress. A log is available here or from the library.

Reader:*

  1. Find something you love to read!

  2. Use your reading log to keep track of the time you spend reading

  3. Ask your parent/guardian to email or drop off your reading log to the library

*If the reader is not yet an independent reader, the reading log should track time spent practicing reading and/or being read to.


  • To best keep all types and levels of readers motivated, reading goals are to be set by the reader’s parent/guardian. Library staff is happy to consult.

  • Tiered prizes are:

    • Pick a prize from our collection when each goal is reached

    • Grand prize awarded twice per year if reader has consistently reached their reading goals
