Reading Challenges
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This challenge is for those interested in reading more children’s literature. (From board books, novelty books like bath, shape, or pop-up, picture books, early readers, chapter books, etc.)
The challenge will go from January to December 2008. Any books written for the 12 and under crowd. Choose 12 or more books for the challenge. Choose what you like. Choose as you go. Or plan it all out now. Whatever you want.
This would be a great challenge to join with your kids. You can read aloud to them. Or for older children, you can read a book together and take turns. Wanna join? Sign up here.
