The 40 Book Challenge
Welcome to the 40 book challenge, yes, you are expected to read 40 books in 5th grade. However, there is a way to do this:
- Books with more than 300 pages count as 2 books, books with more than 500 pages count as 3 books. More than 800 - see Mrs. Ripp
- Graphic novels count as ½ book.
- Picture books count as 1/10 of a book - so 10 picture books are needed to count as 1 book.
- Magazines/Comics - check with Mrs. Ripp for fraction value
- You pick the books you want to read.
- You have until the end of the year
- You are only competing against yourself as a reader and Mrs. Ripp
15 of the books must be actual chapter books
How do you record it:
There are many ways to record your 40 books, here are a few examples:
- Book buddy discussion
- On your reading log
- Blog a review on Kidblog of each book.
- Share your best reviews on Mrs. Ripp Reads blog
- Film a review.
- Keep a book log listing all of the books and your opinions on it.
- Stick the cover of your finished books up in your cubby.
- Recommend the book to a friend and have them write whether they would like to read it.
- Use your Biblinasium account to keep track.
- Skype book recommendation call
