Jr. Rabbit Readers

Building Lifelong Readers, the Jackrabbit Way

Our Jr. Rabbit Readers summer reading challenge is in full swing! While registration has closed for this year's program, we're cheering on all of our young readers as they complete six weeks of reading, activities, and summer fun. The program runs from June 7 until July 18.

Each child received a Jr. Rabbit Reader activity book and bookmark when they signed up, and children who complete the challenge will be rewarded with a Jackrabbit prize in the mail!

Celebrate Your Jr. Rabbit Reader

Is your child participating in the Jr. Rabbit Readers challenge? Share a photo of them reading this summer. We'll send them their Jackrabbit prize, and if you choose, your child's photo may be featured on our social media, in STATE Magazine, or in future marketing materials.
