“If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books”

— Roald Dahl

Welcome to the Red Tail Reading Challenge!

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to read all 10 books on your grade level list before the end of the school year. 

When you finish a book from your list, fill out a sign-off slip and take it to the office to get your pin, then add it to the lanyard you received at the beginning of the year.

Students who choose to read at least 8 of the books, will be invited to a super awesome Glow-in-the-Dark Party at the end of the year! If you complete all 10 books, you will receive a special grade-level pin and be entered into a drawing to win lots of fun prizes at the glow party!

Teachers will have copies of all the books in their classroom libraries to be checked out, so everyone will have a chance for success!
We can’t wait to follow along as you accept the challenge to become an ultimate Fox Hollow reader!
