Summer Reading
The Summer Book Challenge is a personal challenge for each student - not a contest or competition between students or classes. We are hoping that students stretch themselves as readers and increase their competence, confidence, and reading motivation through their daily participation in our reading community. Reading choices should be student driven. ALL materials are a choice! It could be a magazine, chapter book, national park guide book, DVD instruction manual, anything!!
We are implementing the Summer Book Challenge because of these core beliefs:
- Everybody reads! Everybody wins!
- Strong readers have lots of reading experiences that will help make a good, all-around reader.
- There’s the “right book” for you out there somewhere. Let’s find it!
- We believe what you read is YOUR choice.
- Your reading life matters.
I would love to see what you are reading! Leave me a video about the latest book you have read!
