A Reading Challenge for the New Year!
When we returned to school after the winter break, the girls were presented with a new reading goal. By the end of the year, we challenged them to read books that fit certain criteria (see below). Hopefully, this will add one more spark to their 4th grade reading journey. Feel free to ask your daughter about her reading and encourage her to share her thoughts about books that will help her meet this challenge. Of course, there is a prize! Each girl who completes the 2018 Reading Challenge may pick a book of her choice from Scholastic. Happy New Year and happy reading!
