Simply sign up and record the titles of the books as you read.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We ask that parents track books on the READsquared app, but also have tracking sheets for every hundred books read if that&#8217;s preferable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To download and print your own tracking sheet please <a href=\"https:\/\/wbab.suffolk.lib.ny.us\/redesign\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1BBK.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"wpcmsdev-highlight color-yellow\">Don\u2019t worry \u2013 if you joined this program prior to September 1, all the books you read and recorded count!
