Reading Without Walls Summer Bingo! #RESreads

Phoenix Books, a local independent bookseller in Burlington and Essex has an awesome summer reading program  -- The Reading Without Walls Bingo Challenge!

To "play," simply read books that meet the challenge requirements on the bingo board and then return it to Phoenix Books for a chance to receive an ARC (advance reader copy) of a yet-to-be-published book, or even gift certificates for MORE books!  What can be better than that?

Reading Without Walls Celebration!

On Thursday, we invited all students who participated to enjoy lunch in the classroom to celebrate!

Reading without Walls ~ a Challenge!

In the month of October, third graders at RES will be participating in the "Reading Without Walls" Challenge by  National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, Gene Luen Yang!

During the challenge, third graders are encouraged to expand their reading horizons by reading a book outside of their comfort zones!

1. Read a book about a character who doesn't look or live like you.
2. Read a book about a topic you don't know much about. (STEM, history, sports)
3. Read a book in a format you don't normally read for fun. (picture book, comic book, book in verse)

Throughout the entire month, third graders will get to check out an extra book from the RES Library to help meet the goals of this challenge.  We hope you have fun and enjoy finding new books to read with your family!
