How a reading quest works
Read
Picture books, chapter books, comics, poetry, non-fiction, bedtime stories: every book counts.
Log it on BoomReader
Pupils and families log their reading in the BoomReader app, just like they do in term time.
Unlock gems together
Each community milestone unlocks gems for every pupil who takes part, to spend on Boomer outfits and trading cards.
A quest this big needs a digital reading record. Paper reading records can't add up a live community total. BoomReader turns every logged book into visible progress, and schools can see who's taking part.
