Forest of Reading® at Home

Parents and Caregivers,

Your child can participate in Canada’s largest recreational reading program!

They can start a book club with their friends, and participate as a group, or do it on their own.

The Forest of Reading Awards® are the largest recreational reading programs in Canada, and Tinlids is proud to be the official wholesaler. This is a national program where children and young adults pick the winner from a list of 10 books. Your child can participate on their own, through their school or start their own book club with their friends!

Readers choose a program that they would like to be a part of, usually based on their age or grade, and simply begin reading! They can read all ten of the titles, or pick and choose to read only the ones they are interested in. Participants are encouraged to read at least five of the ten titles to be eligible to vote in April.

All purchases of English Forest titles are discounted at 25% and the French Forest titles are at 20%.

When you buy a complete set, you will receive FREE registration, which allows your child to vote, and gives you access to over 500 activities including :

  • A Reading Passport

  • Virtual Author visits

  • Maze activities

  • Lesson plans

  • Colouring pages

  • Author YouTube channels

  • Word searches

  • Art activities

  • Write your own Comics….. and so much more!

IF YOU WANT THE ACCESS TO FREE REGISTRATION, PLEASE INCLUDE THE REQUEST IN THE ADDITIONAL NOTES FIELD.

When you purchase these books through Tinlids, you are supporting Canadian publishers, authors, illustrators, Ontario Library Association and a Canadian bookseller. We all care about bringing the best diverse Canadian books to our children, and fostering a life-long love of reading!
