U.S. Embassy in Georgia

U.S. Embassy Summer Reading Challenge 2023 for American Spaces in Georgia

Open to all children in Georgia, ages 5 to 18

Americans believe that reading is one of the best ways to explore the world during the summer school holiday.  The Summer reading Challenge is one of the best American traditions, when millions of American children spend most of the time reading the books. 

This year U.S. Embassy Tbilisi invites every child in Georgia to join the Embassy’s Summer Reading Challenge and reading the books with us.

The program is simple:

Find any book written in Georgian or English, read it, complete a book report form, by clicking the link attached to the announcement and return that form to an American Space in Georgia either electronically or in person by August 31. Certificates will be issued starting after  October 1 and will be announced on the American Spaces Facebook.
Please, note that the Embassy will not be accepting the forms.

• Every child who reads 500 pages will receive a silver certificate signed by the U.S. Embassy.

Pages read in English language will count for double.

• Every child who reads 1,000 pages will receive a gold-level certificate signed by U.S. Embassy.  Again, pages read in English count for double.
• Every child who reads 10,000 pages will receive a platinum-level certificate signed by the U.S.  Embassy. Again, pages read in English count for double.

For more information and book report forms, please, visit a nearest American Space Facebook.
