This makes my librarian heart so happy.\r\nNot only am I seeing students reading more, but their comprehension is getting better and better. For the monthly challenge, students must read 4 books and complete a summary over one of the books they've read. The challenges are set up to insure that students read a variety of genres, authors, and topics, both fiction and informational text. Even outside of the challenges, I have students coming in to talk about books they're reading, or authors they love.
