How to set up Awards for a Reading Log Group
Awards are a great way to keep your readers on track and motivated to keep reading!
The awards given are at the Group or Activity level. Groups and Activities have preset awards that are easily customizable to fit the needs of individual Groups or Activities.|\
There are twelve default award levels. However, you can add additional awards at any level.
Notes about Reading Log Groups:
Reading Log Programs track reading without a specific goal or schedule. Awards are triggered on thresholds that you define. Awards will trigger exactly when you want.
If you set your metrics to “minutes”, you can have an award set to trigger after “30 minutes read”, “60 minutes read” and so on.
If you have it set for books, it can be set to trigger after “2 books read” or any other number you select.
Example:
“Readers who log number of books”
When are reader logs their first book, they will receive an award
that says “Good job! You finished your first book!”

1. Click on the “Programs”.
2. Select the Program you want to work with.
