Fall Into Reading Challenge List

Yea!!! Let the Challenge Begin. My students have decided I can read 85+ books for this challenge. I will do whatever it takes to make it. The reason? It has sparked an interest with my students. They have set individual goals. My reading class is an intensive reading class. Only a handful of students read more than 5 books last year and most did well to read between 2 and 5. They are required to read 10 for the year in my class, yet some have set a goal of 15 - 18 for the 13 weeks. So all I can say is "Let's Read!!!"
