Arantxa's summer reading

I had promised this list a couple of times. Halfway through the summer I thought it would be cool to see the books had read over the summer. We were keeping a loose record for a couple of summer reading programs (time for some, # of books for others). I decided to start a spreadsheet, thinking that many years from now she'd find it interesting. We printed her list to take to her new schoo's library. To my surprise, she loved reading her reading list!!

The list, I am sure, is incomplete, but not that bad I guess. The books on the list were read by her except otherwise noted. It includes only what she read after summer vacation had started and up until the first day of school. I think the list stopped around 150 books. I am jealous of her!!! A great deal of them come from the library, we'd be broke otherwise!

As you can see, she much more rather read fiction! She continues to read at a super fast rate, but with school she has less leisure time. She does, however, have car rides and she is able to read without getting car sick.

Her K class is participating in a Scholastic program. If the class reads 100 books, Scholastic will donate 100 books to kids that need them. I asked her to, this time, write her list by herself. It has been good practice. I think she came to 16. AT some point she had read 11 out of the 46 books in her class.
