Forest of Reading
The Forest of Reading is an annual reading program run by the Ontario Library Association, celebrating Canadian books, publishers, authors, and illustrators. For each “tree” in the Forest of Reading, there are ten titles that have been selected for reading. Participants read a minimum of five titles and then vote for their favourite, culminating in the announcement of the award winner.

Goals of the Forest of Reading
Goals of the Forest of Reading
Love of reading: Create a meaningful experience for your readers and give exciting opportunities for reluctant readers to become lifelong readers.
A proven head start: The results are in! Children who read for fun have higher literacy scores, have more success in science and math, and are more socially and civically engaged (Reading for Joy, P4E, 2011).
Libraries at centre stage: With fun activities, prizes and more, the Forest of Reading puts libraries at the heart of the action!
Reading Canadian: Help support and celebrate Canadian books, publishers, authors and illustrators by taking advantage of the Forest’s curated, all-Canadian reading lists for all ages and levels.
