50 Book Challenge
Did you know that one in four adults read NO books last year?
Why does this matter to you?
One of the goals of this class is to help you understand and enjoy the benefits of becoming a life-long reader.
Some of you have already discovered the benefits on your own...
Whether your experiences with your personal reading have been positive or negative, the challenge you are about to undertake will be one of the most interesting and rewarding accomplishments you will experience this year.
The Fabulous
50 Challenge
You are invited to read
50 BOOKS before the end of
the year.
That may seem like a ridiculous number, and you probably have lots of questions, but please be patient for a few minutes, so I can clarify the details of this challenge.
You can do better than that. This challenge, in fact, is one of the best ways to raise your reading level.
Part of your progression will
come from your exposure to
different genres.
The 50 books are broken down into the following genres:
- Fantasy (3 books)
- Realistic Fiction (3 books)
- Mystery (3 books)
- Science Fiction (3 books)
- Classics (3 books)
- Your Choice (20 books)
- Non-Fiction-Including biography (3 books)
- Historical Fiction (3 books)
- Poetry (2 books)
- Multi-cultural (3 books)
- Award Winner (4 books)
Plus, all of these genres are recommended reading in the new Language Arts core adopted by the state of Utah.
I heard
we don't get
points for this. Why
should I do
this?
1. This challenge is not just about earning points for a grade.
It goes beyond that.
2. You will have activities based on the books that you read for
this challenge. If you choose not to read, you will miss out on
those points.
3. Don't get hung up on the number 50. If you read at least 30
minutes a day, you'll have no trouble reading your goal
(especially if you are choosing books that interest you).
A FEW LAST DETAILS:
- Shoot for books at least 100 pages long and at or above your reading level.
- To make sure that longer books are not left in the wayside, books with 350+ pages count for two books.
- Any last questions?
LET'S GET
While others have fought valiantly against teachers, friends, parents, and other "misguided" readers.
The truth is one day you will be out
of school. When that day comes,
will YOU still be a reader?

"Okay...So, 35 of my books will be quick picture books, and the other 15 will be books I've read before.
(Heh, heh, heh!)"
Evil laughter for pulling one over on the teacher.
This is a way to
yourself to grow as a person and prepare for what you'll encounter this year and the rest of your life.
What exactly is this challenge?
This is your opportunity to go
just going through the motions of assignments and tasks in school for mere points.
