Pizza Hut's BOOK IT! app marks a significant modernization of the brand's long-running literacy program. Designed to combat the 'Summer Slide' — a well-documented decline in children's reading skills during school breaks — the BOOK IT! app allows parents to set and track reading goals for their kids while rewarding progress with free Personal Pan Pizzas.
The initiative is aptly called 'BOOK IT! Summer of Stories' and it officially begins on June 1st. Targeting young readers from Pre-K through sixth grade, the incentive will run through August. By digitizing the program, Pizza Hut aims to make the literacy-focused campaign more accessible and engaging for families.
For Pizza Hut, this move strengthens brand loyalty by positioning the company as an advocate for education, while also driving foot traffic to its locations as families redeem rewards.
