I was also going to introduce them to the Vacation Reading Challenge. Since our vacation is nearly two weeks this year, it will be important for your child to continue to read over that time so that they don't start to "lose" the reading momentum that they have built up over the past 3 months!
The reading challenge is simple, your child just needs to log down the amount of time that they read during vacation and you need to initial that they read. I have attached the form that I was going to hand out. If you can't print the form, your child can write down the book and time read with parent initials on a piece of paper. Even 15-20 minutes a day is better than no reading at all. This will help to ensure that we can jump right back in to where we left off in December in 2014!
I hope that you and your child have a wonderful holiday and a relaxing vacation.
Reading Challenges
We have almost two weeks of
vacation time coming our way. During
this time away from school, I hope that many of you will take advantage of this
time to do some reading. I know I
will! To motivate some of you who may
not open a book, I have come up with two different challenges.
Challenge #1: group challenge – the girls against the boys. For this challenge, you’ll need to record how
much time you spend reading each day.
The team that averages more time reading each day will win!

Prizes will be rewarded for the readers who read! In order for your books to count, you must
have this sheet when we come back to school next year, Thursday, January 2,
2014. Good luck, happy reading, and see you
in 2014!
