40 Book Challenge!

Our school uses the Accelerated Reader program to help get the right level of books into the hands of our students. I have noticed that many students stop reading once they make their AR goal! I want each 5th grader to develop a love for reading that extends past a general requirement and the 40 Book Challenge has a track record of success! This challenge is NOT a requirement. The students track various genres that they read throughout the year that exposes them to non-fiction, poetry, comic books and more. The ground rules for the challenge can be found on their tracker located in their Reading tab in their binders. The more we get our children reading, the better they do academically! I want to ignite a passion for reading and hear the reluctant complaints when I require the students to stop reading!
