Hey DoDEA Americas Students! Ready for an epic summer adventure? Second Lady Usha Vance’s 2026 Summer Reading Challenge is here — and this year we’re celebrating the 250th anniversary of America’s founding with even more fun and discovery!

Here’s how to join the adventure:

Read 12 books of your choice (any genres — fiction, nonfiction, classics, or new favorites!) between June 1 and September 4.

Track your reads on the official log.

Submit it for a personalized certificate, an America 250-themed bookmark, a special prize, and a chance to win a trip to Washington, DC with a chaperone!

Every page you turn is a new journey — exploring new worlds, meeting unforgettable characters, and learning something fresh. Let’s make this the best summer of reading yet and show the nation what DoDEA readers can do!

Grab your free reading log and learn more at: wh.gov/read
