Million Word Reading Challenge
-
Overview:
This year, ELA classes will be participating in a Million Word Reading Challenge. Your goal will be to read at least TWENTY books across a variety of different genres. This amounts to about one million words.
Timeline:
You will have the entire school year to accomplish this goal. You will be reading often, both at home and in class.
Requirements:It is imperative that you have an independent reading book with you in class, every day. When choosing a book, you must get parent/guardian approval, as well as your teacher’s approval. You will complete reading responses throughout the school year.
Rewards:
Besides expanding your vocabulary, increasing your depth of knowledge, and becoming a more intelligent, well-rounded person, there is also an extrinsic reward for reading each night! Each time you finish a parent-approved book, you will place a sticker next to your name in the classroom. The students that have met or surpassed the TWENTY book goal will get a party at the end of the year!
