Chapter Book Challenge


This term has started with a Chapter Book Challenge where we encourage each other to read chapter books. The books are sorted into four different groups, according to reading difficulty, font size and number of pages.
Most of our chapter books are from the wonderfully awesome Waimate District Library. They have a great range of children's fiction books from beginning readers to more difficult novels for children. Our school library has of course also got a great range of books. It is pleasing to see so many children now actively searching for a chapter book to read instead of 'just' looking.
So far we have read 86 chapter books (actually, that was the tally last week, so by now it must be over a hundred!)
Our first reward for filling the entire marble of jar (each chapter book gets one marble in the jar) will be watching a movie. Mrs Rehmann is keeping mum about the type of movie though...
