100 books-a-month challenge ~ a start on january



I have made some changes on how I record the books we read. I sort them by the reader, and you can see the headers for each below. I also added the reading that we do for our regular homeschool lessons, something I wasn't logging before, along with the chapters/pages read so far in the current novel that I read aloud to the kids.
We are continuing with our chart on our fridge to keep track of our progress visually. We also started reading a few picture books by "A" authors, following the Reading My Library challenge, but I will talk about that a bit more in a future post.
Here is our list so far:

  1. Hi Alex!
    You all are starting out good. I'm putting together out visual chart today. Once we finish with this latest group of books from our library, we'll get into the actual A-Z organization of things and select 'A' authors.

  2. Great idea to record the books according to reader! Good idea to include your learning related reading too

  3. Great ideas. I realized after the first week that I needed to change it the next week and show who is reading what. Isn't it interesting how we start something and it evolves? I like the idea of adding what we read for our lessons. Isn't it inspirational to read children's literature as an adult. There is so much more to see and learn.
