It emphasizes launching a reading challenge on day one, including the Back to School August template and the year-long Read It Your Way challenge, and using marketing assets and at least one reward since sites with one reward see over 200% participation. It explains how to set and update the community goal using the insights dashboard by pulling minutes read from custom dates, and how to enable daily reading goals (default minutes, with optional per-student updates). It also covers higher engagement options such as activity badges (checkbox, code, text box), bingo challenges, and drawings for prizes, with a quick overview of the updated admin dashboard widgets and data tools.
