The Lone Star Reading Challenge

In a hope to help you keep students reading this school year we have created a fun reading challenge...a Lone Star Reading Challenge. In this challenge you will pick and read a book from six Texas reading lists!

Download this PDF for links to the lists

Simply print off this PDF and pick a book from each list. Kids will have tons of options, but it will also get them reading books they might not usually choose. If you want to add some tech to this challenge have kids record a video on their favorite books.

Be sure to share with us on social media, we would love to see what books they recommend!

Happy Reading,

Literacy for Texas
