The Challenge

I have accepted Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer, challenge to read a book a day this summer! The Book Whisperer is an amazing book about how having students read can actually help them become better readers! Shocking! Also that the best thing you can do is let students read the books they want to read and, another shocking result, they will actually like reading! I figure since I want my students to spend their summer reading, I should spend my summer reading. 

I'm a little late starting but Saturday will be my first day. Being a children's librarian, I will focus on kids' chapter books, graphic novels and yes, picture books, and maybe an adult book will fit in! Saturday, June 25 will be my first day and I will read till the first official day of school and the end of summer, Tuesday September 6. I will update this blog with the details of the books that I have read. I think keeping this blog will make sure that I stick to this commitment. 

So here goes, one summer, 74 books! I think I am up to the challenge!
