I challenged my kids to read 50 books this summer. They were nervous, as they’re all in elementary or younger, but they took on the challenge bravely.

The rule is the books have to be chapbooks or novels. I have set up an equivalency system for picture books read to their non-reading brother though.

School has been out for one month to the day of this picture, but I let them start two weeks early because they were excited about the books they got for their birthday.

So this picture is six weeks of reading, and they’re 33 books in.

I should have made the challenge longer!
