Reading challenges are not only a great way of improving upon literacy skills. They are also an opportunity for your child to explore what kind of reader they are, helping them come to new and exciting understandings about themselves and the world around them. With the arrival of Spring Break and with Summer Vacation slowly encroaching, Learn to Write Now has created some fun reading opportunities for every grade level (with a neat incentive!) We have put a spin on the traditional reading list, offering both a summary of each text and an activity that your child may perform after reading each book. You can request the Reading List here.
Below you will find another opportunity: the Book Challenge. This competition offers a fun activity that your child may partake in for a chance to win a prize! Each challenge is split up according to grade group, beginning with lower elementary, and moving to upper elementary, middle, and high school. Click on the links below to access the competition!

We can’t wait to read your competition entries! Even more, we hope that these books can offer your kids new gateways into the world of words. They will surprise both themselves and you with their discoveries!
Human beings avoid doing things they don't like. As adults, we avoid going to the DMV until absolutely necessary, put off annoying tasks at work right up to a deadline, or continue to put off scheduling an appointment. However, when students avoid or procrastinate doing school work, many parents and educators conclude this behavior stems from a lack of motivation.
Some people are born naturally argumentative. Not in the confrontational way we associate with the word "argument." Instead, they seemed primed to be lawyers from a young age, turning every conversation into a debate. Certain personalities exhibit an innate understanding of the logic, critical thinking, and nuance of argument. Those with this keen sense of argumentation exhibit natural persuasiveness but also better grasp pattern recognition, relationships between ideas, and problem-solving.
When asked, nearly 60% of Gen Z students report they would like to be social media influencers. Interestingly, give those same students the chance to opt out of presentation in class, and they will jump at the opportunity. So why would a generation bent on seeking an audience avoid standing up in front of a classroom to practice public speaking skills? It’s a conundrum that vexes educators. While the chances of attaining influencer stardom are as slim as becoming any celebrity, public speaking and strong oral communication skills are coveted in the workplace.
