About the Program:
 
The 100 Book Challenge is a reading program designed to get our children to read.  In order to do this, your child will come home every night with one or more books and a reading log inside a folder.   We want your child to read each night and enjoy what he or she reads.  We do not want reading to be a struggle or to be hard.
Children will read books at their reading success levels.  At these levels, the children will feel comfortable and will be able to read all the words.  Don't worry if the books seem too easy.  The important thing is that your child has fun reading!  Research has shown that the more a student reads, the more successful he or she will be in school.

Here are some ideas that can help your child become a better reader:   

  • Be your child’s home reading coach.
  • Provide the time and opportunity for your child to read his or her 100 Book Challenge color-coded book(s) every day.
  • Make sure your child has a relaxed, comfortable place to read (e.g., couch, bed, floor).
  • Listen to your child read.  Let him or her hold the book.
  • Be your child’s listening ear.  Help with pronunciation as needed.
  • Encourage older children to bring home books they really want to read.
  • Sign your child’s log after he or she reads.
  • Encourage your child to buy books and build his or her personal library at home.
  • Set a good example for your child by sharing your own reading experiences.  Children are copycats – if they see you read, they will read too.
  • Stay in contact with your child’s teacher about his or her reading progress.
  • Keep it fun.  Be sure not to test your child on the reading…Just enjoy it.
