Reading Challenge

The kids and I are excited to be taking part in a reading challenge this year. We each got a commonplace to journal about our reading year. The purpose of the challenge is to get us reading in a wider variety of literary genres. I am excited to dig into some books that I normally wouldn’t pick up.. and the kids are already off to a great start. Some of our kids will read many more books than the 19 listed here, and some will listen to some as an audiobook instead of reading them all, but the important thing is that these stories will get into our imaginations. The kids have enjoyed using their journals to write down their favourite quotes, writing reviews about the books, keeping lists about books they would like to read, and tracking their progress of books they have already read.

Here’s a peek at the books and some of our choices…
