Read Around the World Reading Challenge

December 1 — January 31

Are you ready to go on an unforgettable journey from the comfort of your favorite reading chair? Experience every continent and the vastly different landscapes and cultures that make up our amazing planet.

For each region, choose any genre that you like - poems, picture books, chapter books, audio books, fiction, non-fiction…it all counts. You can read yourself or have someone else read the books to you. Books can be set in the region, about characters from the region or written/illustrated by people from the region.

Download your reading logs here:

Reading Log-List | Reading Log-Coloring

Completed reading logs should be turned in to president@nhe-pta.org. Any student who turns in at least one log will be entered into a drawing for a prize. (Your reading log does not need to be filled completely to qualify)

Visit Newport Heights PTA on Facebook for weekly updates and reading suggestions.

There will be two prizes given, one to the K-2 grade range and one to the 3-5 grade range.
