For the new year 2021, many classes have taken on a Reading Challenge. Some may wonder, why have a reading goal? According to Donalyn Miller, Book Whisperer, “The only difference between a non reader and a reader is that a reader has a plan for future reading and a non reader does not.”

Many students have committed to meeting their individual reading goals and are recording their progress at  Biblionasium.com.   Bilblionasium .com is an online tool for logging, recommending, and reviewing books. There are also opportunities for students to create “Wish Lists” of books for their classrooms, where donations can help in the purchase of students’ favorites titles.
