Summer 2011 Reading Challenge

Well, whaddayaknow? It's been another year since I last posted ... with no posts written by Ian. Oops. It's not that he hasn't been reading. In fact, his fairly voracious reading has continued. But I still very much want to see something written about what he's read. How could that not be beneficial to him, on so many levels?

So, when I saw that the Literacy Toolbox blog was having a summer reading challenge that wasn't overly complicated, I asked Ian if he would be interested in participating. Without hesitation he said he would do it. To keep him company -- and to motivate myself to get through some of my extensive to-read pile -- I said I would do a challenge too.

We begin June 1 and continue reading through August 31. I still have to get him to decide how many picture and chapter books he's going to read in June. Stay tuned!
