My child is already an avid reader; why does he need to participate in 100 Book Challenge?
100 Book Challenge is designed to accelerate every student’s reading capacity and ability—even students who are strong, self-motivated readers. There are several ways 100 Book Challenge can support an outstanding reader’s development. Sometimes students who are avid readers read in a relatively narrow range of interest or a few literary genres—science fiction or computer technology or history, for example. 100 Book Challenge requires students to read broadly, expanding the kinds of literature they can read with skill and ease. This kind of skilled reading over a broad range of informational, technical, and literary genres is critical for success at upper grade levels and in college. Additionally, 100 Book Challenge provides teachers with the training and tools needed to ensure, through classroom instruction and through individual conferences, that students not only learn to read more difficult books, but also learn to think about and critically analyze the information they read.
