PBS Kids Reading Log Utah: Earn Free Family Adventures in 2026 Just for Reading
Hey friends! I’m so excited to share this amazing opportunity happening throughout November 2025. If you live in Utah and have little readers at home, you can earn free family adventures and local attraction passes for 2026—just for reading together!
Reading is already part of our bedtime routine, so when I found out we could earn free passes for doing something we already love, I knew we had to join in.
What Is the PBS Kids Reading Log Program?
The PBS Kids Reading Log is a free program that encourages families to read throughout the month of November. As you log your child’s reading minutes, you’ll earn rewards that can be redeemed for free or discounted Utah family adventures in 2026.
