Reading Medals

Choose reading medals for school challenges, classroom milestones, library programmes and book club presentations. Medals can recognise progress, commitment or completion across a larger group of readers.

Planning a reading challenge presentation

Set the award criteria and count recipients before ordering. You might recognise pupils who completed a reading target, made notable progress or took part throughout the term. Group quantities by award title if the wording will differ.

Check the current medal product page for available finishes, engraving, ribbon and box choices. These options may change, so confirm the choices and full cost for the quantity you need before ordering.

Reading medal questions

Can every pupil in a challenge receive a medal?

Yes. Count the full group and decide whether the medals will all carry the same wording or individual names. Check the product’s personalisation options before preparing a list of names.

What should I put on a reading medal?

Keep the wording short: school or event, achievement and year, such as “Reading Challenge — Completed — 2026”. Add a pupil’s name if the selected medal offers enough space. Review spelling before ordering.

Can I award progress separately from completion?

You can use different award titles to recognise different achievements. Set the criteria in advance and check whether the current finish and engraving options support your presentation plan.
