Forest of Reading

The Forest of Reading is Canada’s largest recreational reading program! This initiative offers reading programs to encourage a love of reading in people of all ages. The Forest helps celebrate Canadian books, publishers, authors and illustrators.

The Forest of Reading Award Programs are where children and young adults pick the winner! Readers choose a program that they would like to be a part of, based on their age or grade, and simply begin reading! You can read all ten of the titles, or pick and choose to read only the ones they are interested in.
