Progress
As school goes back, now is the time to get serious. To start the challenge, we have 12 registrations and $60 donated, but many more have accepted the challenge and hopefully, will come to register after the holiday break. Those books which have been read over the break (and in fact those read from the beginning of March) can be listed in your Challenge Reading Log.
Those who are looking for ideas about what to read, there is a list of “Notable” books for 2007 on the Children’s Book Council of Australia web site. These are books from Australian authors written in the last year, chosen to represent the best. The list includes well recognised and up-and-coming authors, and this year includes a special award for new illustrators, so it is a great source.
Remember, of course, that you are aiming to help improve the educational opportunities of those far from you in this Challenge – children of the Congo, whose lives could be changed for the price of many of the books you will be reading!!
