The program runs October 1 through March 31 each year.
BOOK IT! is a reading incentive program created by Pizza Hut in 1984. We empower teachers and parents to motivate their students to read by providing Reading Award Certificates®, good for a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza® from Pizza Hut®. This program is free to schools and parents homeschooling their own children.
Who is eligible to participate?
Teachers at accredited public, private, and charter schools who teach English Language Arts curriculum for PreK* – 6th grade students (ages 4-12), are eligible for the BOOK IT! Program and may enroll individually for their classrooms. Parents homeschooling their own children may enroll in the BOOK IT! homeschool program. Homeschool support and co-op groups, where the student does not attend full-time, are not eligible. Programs at residential addresses are not eligible. When you submit a new enrollment request, there is a 3 day review period before your account becomes active. For example, if you enroll on a Monday, your account will become active on Thursday (72 hours later).
*PreK requirements: School must be accredited and have an approved PreK curriculum. Eligible students must be age 4 by September 1st.
The 2023-24 BOOK IT! Program is only offered in the 50 United States at this time.
BOOK IT! coordinates with AAFES to provide printed paper teacher packets to select schools on military bases, but the digital homeschool program is not supported.
Yes! If you are a parent homeschooling your PreK-6th grade child (ages 4-12) and that child does not attend another educational facility, you are eligible to participate in the BOOK IT! Homeschool Program. Homeschool support and co-op groups, where the student does not attend full-time, are not eligible.

Please note that our homeschool program is all digital and you will be tracking and rewarding your students through our digital dashboard. Enroll now and get started!
We have created a user guide to walk you through tracking and rewarding your students.
Awarded digital certificates will be sent to the email you used to enroll, and you may need to check your spam/junk folder to see if they are sent there. You also may choose to print them, show the certificate to the Pizza Hut team member on your phone/smart device, or place an online order using the digital codes. The digital codes can be found on the certificate or in the Reward area of your dashboard.
For homeschools, students are added at the time of enrollment. If you need to make adjustments to your student count or address information, please contact the BOOK IT! Team.
Each program year from October to March, teachers set monthly reading goals for the students in their class. Number of minutes, number of pages or number of books – they all work! Also, parents can read with kids not yet reading independently. When a student reaches their monthly reading goal, the teacher rewards the student with a Reading Award Certificate for a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza® from Pizza Hut®. Students may earn a total of 6 Reading Award Certificates each program year.
Students may redeem one Reading Award Certificate per month, and the certificate must be used to reward the student who earned it. When a child redeems their Reading Award Certificate with Pizza Hut, they are celebrated with a one-topping Personal Pan Pizza.
Place your order by phone or in the restaurant and let them know you have a BOOK IT! Certificate. Please note that one certificate per student per visit can be used, the certificate is for the student who earned it and is non-transferable and the student must be present to receive the pizza.
There are two ways to redeem Digital Certificates.

Troubleshooting Tips
• Certificates expire 30 days from the date issued by the teacher – if your certificate is expired you will get the message “We’re sorry, the coupon you entered has expired”
• If you accidently click on the same reward code more than once you will get the message “Sorry, but the deal you are trying to add (BOOK IT! Free 1-Topping Personal Pan Pizza) is already in your cart, and is available only once per order”
• If you click on the link and it does not go directly to the BOOK IT! Pizza Builder or you get the message “Sorry, something has gone awry”, please clear the cookies on your computer, click the link again and select Delivery or Carryout prior to signing in to your account.
