Having a goal will help keep the momentum of the beginning of the school year going and push kids to stretch their boundaries.

Here are some possible ideas:

In 2019, I will read ___ new authors.
I will read (insert book series here) in 2019.
In 2019, I will read ___ chapters every night.

I will read ___ books about ___ in 2019.
I will read ____ (poetry/historical fiction/science fiction/fantasy/autobiography/biography/mystery/etc.) books in 2019.

You’ll also want to set a plan on how to track these goals. A simple notebook should do the trick!
