#AerosRead = School-Wide Reading Challenge

The Allen Library has a reading challenge for the students of Allen Elementary. The challenge is to read at least 1 book every month that falls under the special reading category for that month. The goal is to read at least 10 different types of books this year. To make it fun and a little bit challenging, we have incorporated different genres and added a possibility to win a prize after each month of reading.

How it works (plan is subject to change based on participation)

• The challenge is for Allen Elementary students
• Families are welcomed and encouraged to participate without the chance of prizes
• Any book, audiobook, or e-book will count in the challenge
• Read 1 book for 10 months that match’s that month’s category
• Track your reading by getting and filling out a “AerosRead Challenge Reading Record” sheet. Turn your sheets into your classroom teacher
• At the end of the month, anyone who has entered the challenge will have a chance to win a prize for that month.
• You are allowed to read more than one book per month that matches the category. You will have to fill out a record sheet for every book that you read and turn the sheet in when you are done.
• The more you read the better chances you have to winning a prize
• Once you have read a book in each of the 10 categories, you will win a “#Aeros Reading Challenge” t-shirt and be eligible for a grand prize drawing.

Categories (categories are subject to change based on participation/availability)

The categories will change every month. The 10 categories are:
