Terri's Summer Reading List

Terri (age 12) is a voracious reader and is particularly interested in reading about history and saint stories...

I also wanted to mention that when I make these sorts of lists, I do them alongside and with the input of that child. It definitely increases the interest level and opportunity for success!

Mother Cabrini: Missionary to the World
Mara, Daughter of the Nile
Abigail and the Widow Mary
Saint Paul the Apostle
The Door in the Wall

Summer Reading Challenges

Terri and Bernie are each striving to earn a large ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery after they finish their lists (Gus and Ria's ones are forthcoming - but theirs will be a lot more complex and they're not quite done with school yet). The girls had a lot of say in which books they were interested in. I also told them I'd make them a second list (and give them a shot at a second prize) when they finish this list.
