The Vread challenge: 7 checkpoints
- Checkpoint 1, page 35
- Checkpoint 2, page 71

- Checkpoint 6, page 213

In Vread, God’s Little Acre is split into 7 checkpoints, one every 35 pages or so. At each checkpoint, a question covers the passage you have just read: a correct answer validates the step, and your progress moves forward like a training plan.
The challenge: validate all 7 checkpoints through to the last page. No giant quiz at the end, no summary to copy out: short questions along the way that prove the book was actually read. It also works as a reading quiz to check your understanding before a test.
Also available in French on Vread.
