They're both correct. Number one uses the past simple, pronounced like "red". Number two uses the present simple, pronounced like "reeds".

Context will determine which is appropriate for a given situation.

More context is needed to answer correctly.

1) "Your homework assignment yesterday was to read the newspaper article. I hope everyone read it!"
2) "Your homework assignment for tonight is to read the newspaper article that was just given to you. I hope everyone reads it!
