"The Book Whisperer" by Donalyn Miller is the inspiration for this challenge.CHALLENGE: Read 40 books this school year
GOAL: 10 books per quarter
It's very simple:
-Choose a book you want to read. (It doesn't have to be Junior High level and can be one you've read before last year. Anything you read for last year's challenge is off-limits. It's important that you pick something you WANT to read.)
-Read the book.
(We read in ELA daily, during DEAR time M,T,TH, & F, during Study Hall. There's also time in lunch and sometimes even in other classes. Just keep your book with you at all times!)
-Tell someone about what you read. (Choose someone who will ask you about what you THOUGHT about the book just as much as what the book was about.*)
-Find your next book and do it all over again :)
This year we are offering 2 bonus options for those interested in upping their reading game!
GOAL: Read 2 books from at least 10 different genres August-May.
GOAL: Meet a self-set goal of 60+ books read OR complete your 40-book goal before Christmas break!
