All reading counts! We love books, eBooks, audiobooks, magazines & comics.
You can read aloud to someone else, or have someone read aloud to you.
Log your reading online using the Read Squared Website or ReadSquared App.
Visit the ReadSquared Website to sign-up or Download the ReadSquared App to get started.
