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.

"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.
