Are you up for a challenge?

3 Reading Challenges that Look Fun!




1. Pyramid Reading
An example for 2014 Pyramid reading

This is how it works in a nutshell:

Tier 1: Read 1 book in a chosen category
Tier 2: Read 2 books in another category of choice
Tier 3: Read 3 books in yet another category

Continue in this manner, increasing each tier by adding one book  in unique categories until reaching tier 14. See the example above to see how one of my friends has created her challenge.



2. B*I*N*G*O
BINGO in Progress

Check out the link above to see how this challenge is completed. The options are unlimited and promises to be a fun reading game whether accomplished alone or as a group activity. I think a card could be designed quite easily by using Excel and copying and pasting clip art.




3. Alphabet Challenge

Example in progress

This challenge is definitely for  more committed readers. It is great way to read-around-the-world as well as fit in books that have been sitting on the shelf for years, to read favorite genres, series, etc. An example of a challenge that is close to completion is linked above. Basically, the challenge consists of reading alphabetically several different ways: Author first name, Author last name, by country name....However, a person could come up with their own categories of alphabetized reading.
