Summer Reading Challenge 2020

Download The Challenge 

Dear Parents of Elementary Students,

 

We encourage all students to continue reading over the summer to keep their minds active and strengthen their reading abilities. We have created this summer reading challenge to inspire them!

 

Instructions:

1. Write name and incoming grade in the top right corner.

2. After finishing a book, write the title in one of the boxes on the ”Book Shelfie” page.

3. Each time a student reads for 20 minutes without stopping, color in a circle on the “Read for 24 hours” page.

4. Turn in the completed forms to the XIS library within the first two weeks of school when we return to campus. All those who complete the challenge will receive a prize. 

 

We encourage students to read print books whenever possible. The XIS Library will be open for remote checkout throughout the summer. Additionally, please see below for book recommendations.
