This year you are going to embark on an exciting reading adventure! Your goal is to cultivate a
genuine love of reading by challenging yourself to read a variety of texts and discovering what
kinds of books/texts you enjoy the most. Remember that being able to say you like reading does
not mean you have to like EVERYTHING you read; we all have our preferences, but you never
know what youll like until you give it a try! For this challenge, you are required to earn at
least 100 points by the end of each nine weeks. While your primary competition should be
with yourself, this is also a competition throughout our grade level. Prizes and privileges (TBA)
will be awarded intermittently to students who push themselves to excel! You should never be
without something to read. You will be held accountable for your reading, and this will be part of
your quarterly grade.
Directions: To earn your points, you must read a book of your choice and answer a question about
what youve read. You will answer the question on loose paper that will then be placed in your folder.
When you have answered the question (write 2 paragraphs or at least half a page), you will turn it in
to your teacher. Your teacher will return your folder to you once your work has been graded. You
may begin reading your next book while your response is being graded. Make sure to select a
category before turning in your folder. You may not duplicate categories until you complete the entire
challenge.
