@h2 Welcome to PebbleTown
@h6 where discovery sparks joy in reading and learning
Step into PebbleTown, PebbleGo’s vibrant, storybook inspired reading program where every article read, every eBook explored, and every new discovery brings classrooms closer together in a community built on curiosity. From mid-October through March 2026, students will chart their journeys, earn badges, and celebrate their progress as proud citizens of PebbleTown! Along the way, classrooms have a chance to unlock exclusive monthly giveaways and compete for grand prizes at the finish line. The adventure ends with a big finale next March called the Great Story Makers Parade where classrooms can join exclusive live sessions with Capstone children’s authors and illustrators: tune into joyful read‑alouds, watch real‑time story illustration, and peek behind the curtain of how stories are made.
@h5 The gates of PebbleTown are open... come on in!
