 High School families: Take the Fiction Challenge

We’re looking for keen readers to encourage not-so-keen readers to participate in a Family Reading Challenge. Summer is the perfect time to encourage your children to find a cool spot to relax and read. We all know that fiction can transport us to worlds both true and imagined, trigger curiosity, develop empathy and improve literacy, so why not Take the Fiction Challenge.

So here’s the challenge: encourage your family to read a combined total of 17 fiction titles in 2017, then share a short review of your favourite book (reviews of Young Adult Fiction will be published in Ma Nishma).
