Library reading challenge at Mangonui School

At the network meeting today Carole Archibald from Mangonui Schoool shared an activity she does with her class in the library - We call it the reading challenge (new one each term ) divided into three parts.

• The class challenge where they pick out( as a class ) challenges pretty wide eg A book where a rodent is the central character, a sporty theme, one featuring grandparents etc We started off with eight categories / genre. Just read and record on a fun sheet in reading book. NO OTHER WORK! Just read and enjoy.
  

• The teacher challenge: Each student presents by the end of term the best............... book they've read. Teacher picks category.

• Own challenge: Number of books, finish a long novel, 10 picture books all sorts of things.

Gives a real focus to library times. " I've still got to get a book from the 599's"
