Scribd’s Bingo Reading Challenge is designed to motivate you to try different genres, read diverse voices, and learn new things. Getting a single bingo by completing five prompts (no free space pass here) will put you on-pace with the median American reader, who reads five books a year, according to Pew Research Center. But we encourage going above and beyond by making a shape (an X or a Z, perhaps?) or covering the whole board by the end of the year.
Download the bingo card here and share your progress with friends on social media. Encourage them to play Scribd Reading Bingo, too. Tag us @Scribd on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter when you make bingo so we can share your success story.
We’ll be sharing updates about our own attempts at covering the board and which books we’ve loved. We hope you enjoy playing Scribd Reading Bingo. Now let’s pick a prompt and begin a great book.
