We
will be creating reading goals using the website: Biblionasium.com
On Biblionasium you can rate, review, and recommend books for your
friends. You can also put books on your wish list so your teachers and
parents will know what you want to read, log minutes and pages you’ve
read, and so much more!
Why create a habit of reading? For some people, creating a reading goal, or challenge helps in making a habit of reading often.
