This has been a very motivating way to encourage my students to read at home. I send it home on Tuesday and half my group does it all in one day and returns it the next school day. We have a remote day every week and I like them to read over the weekend. If they can’t zoom, they still have this reading assignment.

What a fantastic reading motivator! The students are eager to read to tick off the challenges. The challenges are unique, fun, and not daunting for the students.

My students had a blast with this resource. They enjoyed doing the challenges and turning in their bookmarks. Every week I would pull 2 bookmarks that had been turned in from a box and let the students who won select a prize.

I was looking for something to switch up and motivate my students to keep reading for the 3rd quarter. I had been using a reading log I created, but wanted to try something new. So far my students have really enjoyed this!
