SUCCESS CRITERIA… Your challenge! I read more than 8 books I challenged myself to read a nonfiction book I challenged myself to read a new genre I engaged in the text beyond the reading (e.g. kept a journal, had discussions with family or friends about the book, created a book club, created a book trailer, etc.) I participated in a summer reading program beyond this challenge (school library hours, Fountaindale Library, White Oak Library, online challenge) I made reading part of my weekly routine I challenged myself to seek resources for meaning of words or concepts that were confusing to me I read aloud to someone (sibling, parent, friend)

I participated in the summer reading program at the library and was able to check out books to take with me on my family vacation to Florida. I read out loud to my sister while we were at the pool and it was great! This year, my goal is to read one book a month at my Lexile level.
