25 Book Challenge

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go." — Dr. Seuss

“I am a reader, a flashlight-under-the-covers, carries-a-book-everywhere-I-go​, don't-look-at-my-Amazon-bill. I choose purses based on whether I can cram a paperback into them, and my books are the first items I pack into a suitcase. I am the person who family and friends call when they need a book recommendation or cannot remember who wrote Heidi. My identity as a person is so entwined with my love of reading and books that I cannot separate the two.”
― Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child

The Way It Works:
Each student is expected to read 25 books over the course of the school year. That's about one book every week and a half.

While there is a "rubric" so students will choose a variety of genres, it is still their CHOICE!

The SOLE purpose of the 25 Book Challenge is to develop a LOVE of reading in our students.
