Superintendent's Reading League

The Allentown School District believes literacy is the foundation for all learning and the key to every child’s success in school, in life, and in the future workforce. Through our districtwide campaign, Light the Way to Literacy, we are building a culture where reading is visible, celebrated, and shared across classrooms, homes, and the community.
This fall, we invite all members of our learning community to participate in the Superintendent’s Reading League: “Leaf Through a Good Book,” Fall Challenge.

Leaf Through a Good Book - Fall Challenge

Our popular Superintendent’s Reading League returns with a new theme: Leaf Through a Good Book. The Reading League is a fun, friendly competition designed to keep students motivated and excited about reading.

  • Challenge Dates: Thursday, October 2, 2025 – Sunday, November 16, 2025
  • How it Works: Students log their reading minutes in Beanstack 
  • Recognition: Top readers and schools will be celebrated at the district’s You Are the Light ceremony in December.

 

How Families and the Community Can Get Involved

Literacy belongs to all of us, and everyone can play a role. Here’s how you can participate:

  • Log your child’s reading minutes in Beanstack through Clever.
  • Share your family’s favorite books and reading moments on social media using #LightTheWaytoLiteracy.

Strong readers become confident thinkers, problem-solvers, and communicators. By celebrating literacy as a citywide effort, we are preparing students not only for academic success but also for meaningful opportunities in college, careers, and life.

Beanstack

The Superintendent’s Reading League encourages all participants - including our students,  staff, families, and community members to bring the joy of reading to life through engaging competition, recognition, and gamification. By tracking daily reading, students will build healthy reading habits and grow into confident, lifelong readers. The Allentown School District will use Beanstack to easily track minutes read. Through the website or mobile app, users can:

  • Earn digital badges as they reach reading milestones
  • Compete on leaderboards and build streaks for daily reading
  • Track everything they read on a personal virtual bookshelf

Together we can reach our goal of 250,000 minutes this fall! Students can access Beanstack directly through their device using Clever or at home by downloading the Beanstack mobile app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store.
