You should see the book disaster around my house. I guess if I have to have a disaster, I’d chose a book disaster. I’ve been terrible about keeping up with recording the boys independent reading the past two months since I posted the boys’ summer reading challenge list.
I know a large number of random books have slipped through. Re-reads. Twaddle (like Diary of a Wimpy Kid). Books way below reading level (like Magic Tree House or a gazillion picture books, fiction and non-fiction). And I’m sure I even missed more important books. I think most of these were read in April, May, and the first week of June, but a couple of them may have been read just before. And maybe a couple didn’t get read by the child I thought read them. I’m going with good enough.
*Books are from the challenge list linked above.
