Every year the Texas Library Association compiles a list of 20 books that are age-appropriate for children ages 2 through 2nd grade. At Taylor, students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade can participate in the 2x2 challenge!
Each time they read a book or listen to someone read them a book on the 2x2 list, they color in the title on the tracking sheet linked below (and sent home with students). When students read all 20 books, they will turn in their colored hat to me in the library, either through email or in person.
Students will receive a 2x2 Reader brag tag & certificate! They will also have their name announced in the morning during the announcements and their photo added to the 2x2 Wall of Fame (if not on the no photo list).
We have one copy of all twenty 2x2 books in the Taylor library. As you can imagine, these books are very popular. Students may check out one 2x2 book at a time when the books are available. Our local public libraries also have copies of the current 2x2 books available for checkout in the children’s section.
I hope your child will participate. If you have any questions, please contact me!
Students have until the end of the school year, to complete the 2x2 challenge.
