Prove you read it
The Vread challenge: 5 checkpoints
- Checkpoint 1, page 50
- Checkpoint 2, page 101
- Checkpoint 3, page 151
- Checkpoint 4, page 202
- Checkpoint 5, page 252
In Vread, The Mountain is You is split into 5 checkpoints, one every 50 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 5 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.
