100 Book Challenge An overview. . .

How Can Parents Help? Make sure your child reads at least 30 minutes each night. Make sure your child read books they enjoy. If they are stopping to sound out words, the books are too hard. Do NOT test children on their reading. If you are able to read with your child, be sure to talk about the idea presented in the book. Laugh at the funny parts, wonder out loud about the information, talk about the characters, and simply enjoy the book! 4. Sign the logsheet so your child’s teachers know that you are actively involved with the home reading. Even if your children already love to read and you don’t think they need to keep logsheets, please sign the log anyway.
