40 book challenge

What is the challenge?

Students will be required to read 40 books of their choice this school within different genres and formats. While assessments are important for instruction, my hope is to inspire and create lifelong readers in my classroom! Some students are not sure what they like to read and this challenge gives them the opportunity to try new things!

Is this for a grade?

This is probably the first question that comes to mind when you read about this challenge, and the first question your student will ask. The short answer is no, but each student is expected to read throughout the year. We will have different activities and conferences throughout the year to track their progress. Reading is not optional, and evidence of their diligence to reading will be obvious in their journal entries about what they are reading, and in their other assignments.

Common Questions

Simple Calendar Icon

What if I read long books?

Any book over 300 pages will count as 2 books. Any book over 500 pages will count as 3 books.


I only read Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Will those count?

They will count towards your total, but you are also expected to read books from other genres as well.


How many pages are the minimum to count?

In order to count towards your book total, the book should be a minimum of 100 pages.

Why?

One of the most powerful tools for students to have is a love of reading. I want school to be a place where they love reading, and not just something they muddle through to get some credit. I believe that by exploring genres and recommendations from me and classmates, ALL students of all demographics CAN fall in love with reading.
