Join Us in Reading to the Final Four!
Read to the Final Four is a statewide literacy challenge that inspires a love of reading among third-grade students across Indiana. In celebration of the 2026 NCAA Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis, this dynamic, tournament-style competition runs from March 25, 2025, through March 15, 2026, and gives students the chance to compete for prizes while building essential literacy skills.
From local classrooms to community centers and libraries, we’re uniting readers and celebrating the power of books, all while tying into the excitement of March Madness!
Mindful Minutes Reading Challenge
This May, we’re inviting students across Indiana to take a mindful pause and care for themselves through reading.
As part of the 2026 Read to the Final Four initiative, the Mindful Minutes Reading Challenge encourages students to focus on building strong literacy skills while developing lifelong habits of mindfulness and self-awareness. From May 1 through May 18, students can explore books that inspire calm, reflection, and emotional growth.
Register for the Mindful Minutes Reading Challenge.
Students will log their reading minutes using Beanstack, our official reading platform. Each school participating in Read to the Final Four will receive a unique login and tracking link.
