Established in 1984, the BOOK IT!® program is a reading incentive program created by Pizza Hut. The program is available for PreK–6th grade students and reaches more than 14 million students across 37,000 schools annually.
Students can participate in the program through their primary school classrooms or homeschool teachers during the school year, or with their parents during the summer's Summer of Stories™ program.
By providing digital Reading Award Certificates®, which are redeemable for a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza®from Pizza Hut, the program aims to empower teachers and parents to motivate children in grades PK–6 (ages 4–12) to read.
Students may redeem one Reading Award Certificate per month, and the certificate must be used to reward the student who earned it. The student must be present. When a child redeems their certificate with Pizza Hut, they are celebrated. This program is completely free.
The School Program is for traditional teachers and homeschool teachers. The Summer Program called BOOK IT! Summer of Stories™ is for Parents.
The six-month BOOK IT! school program runs October 1 through March 31 each year.Summer of Stories™ runs June 1 through August 31 each year.
The BOOK IT!® program does not provide rewards during April, May, or September, as these are non-program months.
Our school program runs annually from October 1 through March 31, and our summer program runs annually from June 1 through August 31.
BOOK IT! is now 100% digital and all resources are available online — Pizza Hut BOOK IT!® Resources

Your teacher will track your child's reading in their digital dashboard or on our website until the end of each month and then reward students starting the 1st through 15th of the following month. They may choose to have you complete a tracking sheet, but you do not have an account to use for tracking.
Teachers select the reward and send the certificate with your child when they meet their reading goals. Teachers also have the option to email the certificate to parents. If you have concerns about the certificate, please consult with your child's teacher.
The BOOK IT! program is a monthly reading reward program and teachers have a designated timeframe (1st through 15th following the reward month) to award certificates each month. They have until the 15th of the following month to issue certificates for the prior month (e.g., rewards for October can be issued through November 15th).
After the 15th of the month, the reward links for the previous month expire and can no longer be rewarded for that month. Certificates expire 30 days from the date generated, and this date cannot be adjusted.
