Bookman's Reading Challenge

Walker Elementary is competing against 27 other schools to see which school can read the most books in 90 days. The winning school will receive $15,000 for their school!! All the kids should have reading challenge forms to record all the books they read from Jan. 6th - March 31st. They have to write down the title, author and the date they read the book and then have a parent or teacher initial their form. 1st - 5th graders have to write one sentence about an interesting part of the book and Kinders can either write a sentence themselves or draw a picture about the book. It's that simple! Any books you read to your child can be recorded as long as they write the sentence or draw the picture themselves and don't forget to record any books they read to their siblings and other people.

The kids have the chances to earn prizes, privileges and parties as they reach each level of their reading goals and they earn a chance to use the claw machine in the library to win some treats for every 4 books they read.

Many of the teachers are incorporating these challenge sheets in their homework but we need children to do their own independent reading to reach our goals. Please encourage your child to keep track of the books they read so they can help their school win the big prize!

If you have any questions about the challenge, please feel free to call, email or stop by the library so I can give you further details.

Thanks for all your efforts and Happy Reading!!
