Description

The 20 Book Challenge is a school-wide reading program that encourages students to read books from different predetermined categories, submit responses and reflections through Google Classroom. Students use 21st century technology to respond to books they are reading while working towards a goal. At SWMS we drastically improved our reading levels, turned our students into readers, and created a program that engages the entire school while allowing students the choice they crave.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain a picture of what engaged literacy looks like in a Title 1 School
• Discover the components of a flexible, student-driven reading program
• Create your own book challenge to take back to your school
