Gear up folks!

Dear avid Readers,

Greetings!

Well, yesss! The time is ripe for taking a few Reading resolutions for the new year that’s almost round the corner! Oh Nooo! Not all resolutions are meant to be broken, you see! J

We’ve always had reading challenges in our respective classes, and in our own little reading groups, as well! And so, to help make our choices easier on the reading front, I’ve listed down a few ideas, to take the new year’s reading challenge in a ‘fun, fast, easy’ way!

For this vibrant endeavour, Hanna Braime’s famed reading-challenge-model has, as usual, been my ready reckoner of sorts!

Well, I’ve also designed a template on the same, to help you forward it to ardent ‘readers in need’!!!

The first one and the most practical one, is the 26-book format, which translates to, one book every fortnight! Very much an attainable goal, ain’t it?

So yup! here we go!

The ‘2019 reading challenge’
