MILLION WORD

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” – George R.R. Martin

The Challenge: To read at least 20 books (of YOUR choice) during the course of this school year. This amounts to about 1 million words! 20 books ÷ 10 months = 2 books per month *Note—Our classroom novel studies WILL NOT count as OUTSIDE reading books

The Reading Log: Every student will receive a reading log which will be used to track your reading progress. Parents must sign this form to indicate the chosen novel is bring read at home nightly.

The Guidelines: Read for 30 minutes each night ALWAYS have a book with you in class You will use these independent reading books to complete reading responses and projects The book selections must be appropriate for your age and ability You may read books that are movies, but cannot use those books for your projects

The Competition: For each book you have read, you will receive a sticker to place next to your name on the class chart You will not receive a sticker until your parent has signed your reading log At the end of the school year, the students that have read the most books will receive a party with treats and books, courtesy of Mrs. Guerra.

The Philosophy: Simply stated: “The more you read, the more you know.” –Dr. Suess The more you read, the better your vocabulary, the higher your test scores, the better you think in all your classes and situations.

The Philosophy: Reading can be adventurous, magical, frightening, hilarious, and even life-changing, especially if you choose what you read. Reading enriches your life, strengthens your mind, and helps you understand yourself and others.

Finding a Good Book: Here are some ideas to consider… Ask a librarian Google your interests Visit a bookstore and look at the books on the aisles Ask a friend or classmate Consult a book list Watch a book trailer like this one (did you know these existed?) Join an online book club or website like Goodreads Ask your parents or older relatives what they read at your age Pick a donut, get a book recommendation (click here)

Book Lists: It’s not hard to find a book list, but here is a list of lists to get you started. Celebrity Favorites Fans of The Hunger Games Fans of Game of Thrones Royal Reads August Reads African American Teen Fiction 20 New Books Worth Reading 30 Books that Will Change your View of the World Must Read Graphic Novels Top 10 Books with Geeky Girls Books that Heavily Feature Music 17 Books with Dragons (click on image)
