Reading Challenge 2016

 

 

Both my girls, now 7 and 10 are avid readers.They both started reading and an early age and we have read to the both of them since before they were born. Reading came easy to them and they read with pleasure to this day forward. Especially through homeschooling we have become aware of the important role of books in our life and have become big supporters of reading in general ! This year has been very challenging for us in Oregon, and we have met many difficulties. Books gave us a safe haven and made it easier for the girls to understand some things. More to our challenges and why I haven’t posted much lately, will follow in another blog post soon. For now I want to share their wonderful reading accomplishment with you and I hope that it might inspire you or your children to pick some of these up as well. There are so many amazing books out there just waiting to be read ! Some of the books on the lists will appear on both , since they now have reached the age where they are able to switch books with each other 🙂 I love their little book discussions, how they discuss events and characters ! If you have any questions to any titles, feel free to ask 🙂 Some of these are older editions ( library) but newer ones might be available or you can always find a great deal used on abebooks.com or if you half a half price book store around the corner, you will most likely find them there… Also since they are still a few days left in the year, the list is most likely still to grow.. so check back for additions 😉

Our goal was to read as many chapter books as possible so i mainly just logged those. I wish I could have added all the picture books as well and some of our non-fiction books are missing , I tend to forget the titles of those too fast and picture books are still sooo beneficial even for older kids ! It has been so fun to log all these books and be able to look through the lists and see what they have read. It’s been a lot of fun.. I hope you enjoy the list 😉 I think we will try to continue keeping our reading log year round 😀

I will start with my oldest daughter. She read these books between the age 9-10.
