StoryQuest Badges
Pave the way for a stellar reader!
Reading for fun matters. It is the single biggest predictor of children’s future success. With just ten minutes of reading a day (increase time if necessary), your child will fall back in love with reading. Let StoryQuest help you to encourage the kids in our lives to become lifelong readers by sharing the joy of reading for fun, thereby contributing to happiness, health, and success for generations to come.
And we know a reward helps. You can print and display the badges below—use them as a sticker or simply as a reminder that rewards come with reading.
Pick your lane and dive in. Every badge is packed with page-turners for your reader to devour — and we’re adding more all the time.
