2012-2013 School Year

The New Mexico Reads to Lead 2013 Summer Challenge is a free reading program dedicated to stopping the “summer slide” by encouraging our New Mexico students to read more books over the summer break. Reading is the foundation for learning, and when our students read well, they are better positioned to succeed academically, in the workplace and in life.

Click on the links below to download and print a Reading Log for each reading challenge. You must fill out and return a reading log to claim your prizes and be entered for a chance to win one of several GRAND PRIZES.

For mid-sized and small communities in New Mexico with the most participating readers, the State of New Mexico and Comcast are going to throw a community-wide party recognizing their accomplishments, with free food, games, and lots of fun!
