20 Chapter Book Challenge 2017

All I ever want to do when it's cold and snowy outside, is curl up and read. Since I can't, I can at least encourage my kids to do it! Lincoln and Ivan had a great time with this last year, and asked to do it again. So here is our 20 Chapter Book Challenge 2017!

It works like this, they kids each pick 20 books that I approve of (I have to approve to make sure they are on their reading level, and so that they pick a larger variety than just fantasy and graphic novel. I also want to make sure there are a couple non-fiction items in there as well) and do a book review of each. Last year we did their book review orally. They didn't love that, so this year we're trying something new called "Notebooking". (I'll do another post about that later.) When they finish all 20 books, I will buy them a book of their choosing.

Adelia is still debating whether or not she wants to participate this year, but here are Lincoln's and Ivan's approved lists. (Lincoln is still thinking up 2 more books) I find a lot of the books we choose to read off of the Bravewriter's Arrow book list. :)
