Last year, I signed Stevie And Zac up to be part of the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge. It a scheme run in every state and territory to encourage reading in young people. The challenge requires them to read 12 books in 9 months from a set list. They can make two selections themselves from other sources. They get a certificate of achievement for this.
Well, there just wasn’t time at the end of last year to have a little presentation so we decided to have it now! We gathered at a local park, sat together and had our own little celebration.
The children were asked to do a short report on a book that they read and why they liked it.
Here’s a photo of Stevie reading his report. Below is Zac:
Liz shared one of her favs (well, her son’s actually…)
Then they received their certificates and were encouraged to read more books for this year’s challenge.
I must admit that my older boys find this easy as they are reading constantly. Still, it’s nice to recognise some good reading and have the opportunity to share about that with others. Even I found out the name of a children’s book that I’d like to track down for us!
