30 Book Challenge
The Challenge!!
This school year the 7th grade staff at CPMS is starting something novel and exciting. We are challenging you to read 30 books throughout the course of the school year! 30 books sounds like a lot of books, but you are capable of accomplishing this goal. The 30 book challenge is going to open your eyes to a wide variety of literary genres and will hopefully foster within you an appreciation, if not a love, for reading. You will have some time in language arts class to read, and may find time in other classes to read, so ALWAYS have your book in ALL of your classes. This is a BIG challenge that will be an amazing accomplishment at the end of the year!
A Few Facts …
• The 30 Book challenge goes from August through May.
• The 30 Book Challenge is completed on the honor system, so as you complete each book you will come and tell me and I will sign off for you on your Genre Check-off List (I will also check your reading log throughout the year).
• Books exceeding 300 pages may be considered as two books for that genre.
• A maximum of five graphic novels may be counted toward your 30 books.
• Class novels count, but only as one book.
• All books must be at grade level or above.
