What is the 40 Book Challenge?
The purpose of this challenge is to get your seventh grader reading books they might not normally choose and to increase their love of reading in different genres. This can be accomplished by reading during Independent Reading time at school and spending at least 20 minutes reading daily at home. Some books like shorter nonfiction books, can be read possibly in a day or two. Some books will obviously take longer to finish. The best way to become a better reader and to build vocabulary is to read!
Will Books read for class count toward this challenge?
Yes! Any books you read for Mrs.Morton or another teacher can be counted toward this!
What happens if I do not read 40 books?
Again, this is a challenge not a competition or a strict requirement of 40 books. Your goal is to read as many books as you can throughout the school year. I want you to increase your reading ability and explore genres and texts you have not before. The challenge is about reading!
