Reading Sprint!

May 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Book Geek

Hello, I am Ms. Nancy’s daughter. I am in the fifth grade and I came up with an idea for when you are reading a lot of books and are not sure which one to read, want to finish them all fast or just plain want to read! My idea is called a Reading Sprint. Here’s how you do it:

1.) You get a bunch (2-4 is a good amount) of books that you are reading and put them in a pile.

2.) Next you take the book from the top and read a chapter of it. If you are in the middle of a chapter then you can just finish the chapter.

3.) Once you have read the book on top, you put it on the bottom of the pile and read some of the next book.

4.) You keep on doing this and eventually, you will be finished with the books in no time!

You can read a certain amount of pages also if the book’s chapters are too long. You might want to have a variety of books so you won’t get them mixed up. If you have to stop when you are not finished with the chapter or amount of pages and you have to go do something or take a break, you might want to leave that book you were reading on the top of the pile so you will remember that you were reading it.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about this idea and try it. It is really fun, I do it all the time!

Anyway, bye for now and remember to keep on reading! : )
