Using the BOOK IT! app

Parents use the app to set up readers, track eligible reading days, see rewards, and read messages. Summer of Stories runs June through August; the School Year program runs October through March. Available actions depend on your enrollment and the current dates.

Start or return to your account

1. On the welcome screen, choose Get Started for family setup, or Sign in to existing account if you have used the app before.
2. After Apple or Google sign-in, choose Create new account or Find my existing account as appropriate. Use the email associated with your previous enrollment when looking for an account.
3. If prompted for an email code, use the newest message. Follow the result on screen before creating another family account.

If the connection fails, retry when you are online. A connection error does not mean your account or reading history is gone.

Set up your family and readers

1. Review your parent information, enter your ZIP or postal code, and select a participating Pizza Hut location when offered.
2. Choose up to five participating readers. Enter each child’s first name, current grade, school type, and avatar.
3. For School Year readers, follow the teacher connection or homeschool document steps shown for each child. A homeschool application may need review before tracking is available.

Returning families may review existing readers together and add or exclude a reader during the current setup. If a saved child or reading history is missing, use account recovery or contact support before starting a separate family.

School Year: homeschool or classroom teacher

After entering each reader’s school type, follow the path shown for that child. The School Year program runs October through March. A teacher invitation or a saved homeschool application does not by itself make reading tracking available.

If you homeschool

1. Select Homeschool for each homeschooled reader. Review the family’s reader details before continuing.
2. If verification is requested, open the document step and follow the accepted-document requirements shown for your state. One family submission can include documents covering multiple children.
3. You can choose Add Documents Later on the document page. Your enrollment stays pending until the required documents are submitted and approved. If you need to add missing documents, return through the pending status shown in the app.
4. After approval, return to the app and open Reading for the School Year program. If the card still asks you to refresh, refresh before opening Track Reading.

If your child attends a school

1. Select Public school or Private school. Search for the child’s teacher or school in the teacher connection step.
2. If the teacher is not participating, use the invitation option shown in the app and check the email before sending. You can return to the app while the connection is pending.
3. Once the teacher approves the connection, refresh the app to see the available School Year reading actions.

If a document upload or teacher lookup fails, keep the current application and retry after checking your connection. Do not create another family or submit a duplicate application solely because a request failed.

Track reading

Open Reading and select a reader. If your family participates in both programs, use the Summer and School Year choices at the top of Reading to view the right program. The Inbox does not have this switch.

• Choose Track Reading on an eligible reader to open the calendar. Mark a day when the daily goal was met, then save and close the tracker.
• The app shows which dates can be edited. The usual backdating window is seven days, but your account settings may differ.
• The optional timer helps with a reading session; it does not mark the day complete automatically.
• Use the pencil on a reader card to review or update that child’s current profile details.
• A past program can show reading history after tracking closes. Its cards may be read only.

Find and claim rewards

Open Rewards to move between Active, In Progress, and History. Active shows rewards ready to claim or use; In Progress shows reading that is still working toward a reward; History shows earlier rewards. If Active is empty, use View reading progress to return to Reading.

Read the dates and eligibility shown for each reward before claiming it. Reward availability depends on the program month, completed reading, and the claim window shown in the app.

Once a code is available, follow the redemption instructions shown with it. For more help, see How to claim your code.

Read messages and get help

Open Inbox to read messages and applicable requests. An empty Inbox has no message to show. Use the menu for profile and notification settings, or Report an Issue when you need support.
