So even though my 5-year-old can’t read on his own yet, he is ready for lengthier picture books and beginning chapter books. I’ll start with some picture book suggestions and then break up chapter books into a couple of categories.

From here on out, I am challenging myself to see myself the way my child sees me, and to be the person that my second thought believes I am. And, it cannot stop with me – I challenge you to do the same.

So I challenge you this summer to set some goals. And to make it more fun, I’m framing them into something I’m calling the 1000 – 100 – 10 challenge!

Let's start having fun by adventuring this year! Taking adventures can pull us out of our comfort zones and stretch our learning.
