Reading Challenge

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Reading Challenge lesson plan also includes:
  • 2016 Reading Challenge
  • Template
  • Join to access all included materials

One of the big challenges of assigning independent reading is helping class members find a book to read. Another is encouraging readers to read a variety of genres. Never fear, help is here in the form of a quest that asks individuals to research and then generate a list of books they might find interesting.
