The Challenge

Hillsborough County Public Schools, in partnership with the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County, is hosting a special reading challenge to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

All young children and students are encouraged to participate by reading as many books as they can between September 15 and October 15.

Time spent reading will be recorded automatically within the myON platform.

REMINDER

If young children and students are reading offline, they should be sure to log back into myON with WiFi before October 15, so their reading activity is included in their school’s total minutes read.

HCPS School winners in each regional area

The school with the highest average minutes read on myON during the challenge period in each of the regional areas will be recognized with a school banner.
